I am interested in revising either the “[[Child abuse|Child Abuse]]” or “[[Child marriage in the United States|Child Marriage in the US]]” articles on Wikipedia. I am interested in these topics because they are closely related to the legal career path I’m pursuing. As one interested in child advocacy law, I think it is important for the public to know more about the prevalence and history of issues such as child abuse and child marriages. I have observed and experienced a vast ignorance on cases specifically in the US and I believe that the first step in addressing those abuses is through awareness and knowledge. In the Child Abuse article, there is only a small section on US-specific information. I will expand that by adding history of the issue, legislature, and current facts. In the “Child Marriages in the US” article, there is very little information in general, so I will add more facts on the issue specifically in the realm of parental rights, causes, consequences, and how it relates to child abuse.


Here are some of the references I am considering.

Revision as of 12:32, 12 September 2019

My name is Mikayla and I'm currently a student at Rice University pursuing a degree in psychology with a human rights focus. My interests include social injustice, human rights, and the well being of children. I am excited to further expand literature on those subjects through Wikipedia and learn about the root issues beneath today's social problems.

Current Ideas

I am interested in revising either the “Child Abuse” or “Child Marriage in the US” articles on Wikipedia. I am interested in these topics because they are closely related to the legal career path I’m pursuing. As one interested in child advocacy law, I think it is important for the public to know more about the prevalence and history of issues such as child abuse and child marriages. I have observed and experienced a vast ignorance on cases specifically in the US and I believe that the first step in addressing those abuses is through awareness and knowledge. In the Child Abuse article, there is only a small section on US-specific information. I will expand that by adding history of the issue, legislature, and current facts. In the “Child Marriages in the US” article, there is very little information in general, so I will add more facts on the issue specifically in the realm of parental rights, causes, consequences, and how it relates to child abuse.
