Recommendation 3:
In order to ensure that all children are granted the right to participate in legal proceedings in Canada, it is critical that all parties take an intersectional approach to understanding children’s rights and needs (Martinson & Raven, 2020a). This means acknowledging the particular nuances of a child’s circumstances and recognising that these may vary on a case-by-case basis. This also requires courts to recognise children’s socio-economic status, gender identity and expression, and differing abilities, amongst other factors (Canadian Coalition on the Rights of Children, 2016; CBA, 2020; Martinson & Raven, 2020a, pp. 22-23). Upholding children’s rights requires the creation of an environment in which all children feel empowered to participate in legal proceedings that affect them, regardless of their circumstances (CBA, 2020).
