3. Children’s Experiences of their Rights when Deprived of Liberty During the research, children were asked a series of questions about how they experience their rights under the CRC, presented first under the tripartite categorisation of children’s rights - Provision, Protection and Participation. Representative quotes from the children used throughout this chapter are identified according to UN region rather than country so as to avoid identifying specific children, i.e., African Groups (AFG); Asia-Pacific Group (APG); Eastern European Group (EEG); Latin American and Caribbean States (LAC); Western European and Others Group (WEOG). The report also includes coding that identifies the six settings in which the data were collected. These were: 1 2 3 Administration of justice (child justice) Children deprived of liberty with their parents Immigration detention 4 5 6 Institution (mental health; orphanage) Children associated with armed forces/groups Children accused or convicted of threats to national security Following this approach, an identifier code is given, for example M/16/3:WEOG – alerting the reader that this is the view of a 16 year old male (M/16) from the Western European region (WEOG) with experience of immigration detention (3). When the code MF is used, it refers to a child whose gender has not been disclosed. 87
