Calls to reform children’s housing rights in Aotearoa w/ the University of Auckland’s Professor of Law, Mark Henaghan: 28th November, 2024

The University of Auckland’s Professor Mark Henaghan and researcher Christian Poland argue that children’s rights to a stable home are neglected by laws that prioritise adult interests. 

In their new research, Children and the Reach of Family Property: The Rhetoric and the Reality, Henaghan and Poland highlight the importance of a stable and secure family home for children’s well-being, especially during their formative years.

Producer Sofia spoke to Henaghan about such calls to reform children’s housing rights in Aotearoa.
