- W2945120622 abstract "The protection and rights of children is a worldwide concern. Globally most countrieshave agreed to minimum standards for child participation, protection, and provision ofbasic needs. Yet, it is recognised that children in low through to high income countriesoften are left unprotected from a violation of rights. Many factors influence the care andprotection of children such as political, economic and social stability, along withprevailing values. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)is the most widely used document. A comparable document from the Organisation ofIslamic Cooperation, the Covenant on the Rights of the Child in Islam (OICCRCI),provides a faith based perspective on the care and protection of children. Thegovernment of Negara Brunei Darussalam is a signatory to both these documents andhas various policies and aspirations to support children.Brunei has a strong Islamic ethos and unique culture. These factors shape childhood inBrunei, yet examinations of its impact have received little attention in the academicliterature. A review of literature located studies on Bruneian history, culture, legalsystems, education systems, and special needs policies. However, children had lowvisibility in the studies, suggesting the need for research that captured their experiences.This thesis examines children’s lived experiences in Brunei, providing an avenue forBruneian children’s voices to enter academic narratives. Specifically, it explores howthe Brunei Government’s child protection policies and principles are reflected in theeveryday experiences of children.Diverse groups of Bruneian children participated in the research. Children have distinctvulnerabilities, which differ from the realities experienced by adults. Including theirvoices in research is necessary to develop understandings of the lived experiences of children. Interviews were undertaken with children living in Brunei, including bothcitizens and non-citizens. Children were recruited from a variety of contexts including,schools, religious programs, juvenile justice and child protection systems. Parents ofchildren with special needs, and parents who adopted a child were also interviewed, aswere practitioners and teachers. The adults in the study were interviewed for theirspecialist knowledge of working within, or experiencing, governmental systems relatingto child wellbeing. 112 children, 16 practitioners and 11 parents participated in theresearch. Their accounts were thematically analysed. Results are discussed within thecontext of literature, child participation and prevailing child rights documents.Children described their lives at home, in institutions and at school. While differing inintensity, common themes were identified across the distinct case groups. Examplesinclude, adult-child relationships, lived religion, feelings of safety, gender, issues ofstatelessness, feelings of inclusion, violence, truancy and the influence of friends. Threegroups of children were recognised as having their rights infringed; children withspecial needs, non-citizens and females. There are disparities between the experiencesof children in Brunei, with Muslim-Malay citizen children more likely to benefit fromgovernment policies. Bruneian children are protected by both formal and informal childprotection measures identified throughout the data. In some instances, informalpractices ensured positive outcomes for children, however a lack of monitoring mayplace children at risk.This thesis adds to the body of literature on child protection and participation inMuslim-majority contexts. To deepen understandings of child protection in Brunei,literature was reviewed on the influence of Islamic teachings in caring for children.Literature was reviewed focussing on Islamic teachings and their lived application. This guided the study in explorations of adoption, discipline techniques, child marriage, andduties between parents and children in Brunei. The approach used can be adapted forresearch on the rights of citizen and non-citizen children in other Muslim-majoritycontexts. Improving understandings of the realities of children in Islamic contexts, willimprove responses to enhance child wellbeing. This thesis sits within a growing body ofliterature which challenges Islamophobic discourses which, have been harmful inMuslim-majority and Muslim-minority contexts. Throughout, there is a focus on whereIslamic and Western concepts of child wellbeing converge. Areas of convergencerepresent areas where effective work with children can occur, supported by child rightspractice, and congruent with religious norms. Divergences between Western andIslamic thought represent areas where dialogue can occur to further understand bothpositions, and work towards acting within in the best interests of the Muslim child." @default.
