The election of Donald Trump was a shock for many advocates of children’s human rights. All children are vulnerable, of course, but those advocates focused on children who were also members of already-vulnerable groups, including immigrants, the poor, and people of color, were especially worried. The new administration had promised to “build a wall,” repeal Obamacare, slash corporate taxes, and “make America great again.” At what cost? And at whose expense? More specifically, how, exactly, would a Trump administration affect children’s human rights to health, education, an adequate standard of living and quality childcare? In this Special Symposium of Family Court Review, an outstanding group of scholars addresses these issues with deep insight, considerable experience, and some anxiety. The first five very short essays are an unusual format for a symposium. These authors knew that they would not be able to prepare full-length articles, but they wanted to participate in this symposium. This reflects these authors’ engagement with the topic and a real sense of urgency about the risks facing children for the duration of the Trump administration.

简介：特朗普政府与儿童人权

唐纳德特朗普的选举对儿童人权的许多倡导者进行了震惊。当然，所有儿童都是脆弱的，但那些关注那些也属于弱势群体（包括移民、穷人和有色人种）的儿童的倡导者尤其担心。新政府承诺要“筑墙”，废除奥巴马医改，削减公司税，“让美国再次伟大”。以什么代价？以谁为代价？更具体地说，特朗普政府究竟会如何影响儿童在健康、教育、适足生活水平和优质儿童保育方面的人权？在本次家庭法院审查专题研讨会上，一群杰出的学者以深刻的洞察力、丰富的经验和一些焦虑来解决这些问题。前五篇非常短的论文是研讨会的一种不同寻常的格式。这些作者知道他们无法准备完整的文章，但他们想参加这个研讨会。这反映了这些作者对该主题的参与以及对特朗普政府期间儿童面临的风险的真正紧迫感。
