Children, Not Cases: Defying Labels in Child Welfare Abolition

Defying Labels in Child Welfare Abolition is the rejection of damaging stereotypes and categorizations made of children by the child welfare system. Children are not seen as "cases" or "problems," but as an individuals with distinct needs and talents. In that regard, it aims to free a child from being reduced in a system, and instead foster an approach toward child welfare characterized by empowerment, justice, and support for family. Child welfare abolition is aimed at a world where children do not have to live in a system that belittles them, but a world where they are cared for in a way that upholds their dignity and humanity.
