ABSTRACT
In Hampshire, primary children are studying Cinderella in the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989. A reporter listening in heard bright little mites saying ‘They kept her in a cellar and made her work like a slave, which infringed Article 19’ and ‘Her stepmother denied her right to be protected from abuse’ and opining that she should have gone to the ball under Article 31 ‘because children have a right to play’.
