Equity for Children
Alberto Minujin, Director
Equity for Children provides a platform for academics, students, policy makers and practitioners working to better the lives of children in need. With headquarters in New York at The New School, as well as branches in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and Mexico City, Equity for Children sponsors original research, teaching, events and symposia in person and through its websites in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Our partners include UNICEF and Young Lives at the University of Oxford.
We stimulate critical thinking, by creating and disseminating knowledge about how to address child poverty, marginalization and inequality. Equity for Children does so by:
- Establishing forums of exchange, debate and advocacy among researchers, policy makers, civil society and practitioners
- Providing a place for research on new and innovative practices and theories
- Translating complex theories and research into applicable tools for practitioners
- Networking with activist and advocacy groups
If you are interested in interning, volunteering with Equity for Children for events or publishing research projects through Equity for Children please contact us. We welcome student research on many subjects connected with child rights, economic development programming and design as well as gender issues.
