Abstract
The text refers to contemporary childhood and children’s rights studies. I reflect on the need to decolonise these studies resulting from the changing conditioning and contexts of children’s lives, changing models of childhood as well as ways and potentials of children’s functioning in the 21st century. New global processes and transformations, of which children are the most numerous participants, allow us a broader insight into their situation and activism. At the same time, they necessitate reflection on changes in approaches to research with children, on childhood and children’s rights in countries of the Global South and Global North, that has been accompanied by the UNCRC for three decades.
