S2E13 - Children

We are so pleased to have Marla Petal with us on the show today! She is the Principal Advisor for Urban Resilience and School Safety for Save the Children and is a prominent and fearless advocate for children and youth around the world. We discuss some of the particular inequalities and injustices faced by children, and why their voices are so important. Again, we discuss the power of narrative and framing as we approach discussion of a group so often identified as "vulnerable".
