摘要
Canada signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child in December 1991. It played a leading role in the drafting process of the Convention. This article looks at the debates on the 'spanking law' and the rights polls conducted by Elections Canada. They highlight the fact that the pursuit of children's rights could be socially divisive. Social workers ought to assist in the successful implementation of the Convention that would lead to an improvement in children's well-being and quality of life.
