Abstract

A children's rights perspective illuminates and informs child witness research, sometimes in unexpected ways. In this commentary, I outline what a children's rights perspective can contribute to the study of child witnesses, and tackle the question of how to define what children's rights are. A discussion of each of the articles in this remarkable special issue highlights research findings and challenges, the applications of children's rights, and future directions for the field.
