Mae’n canolbwyntio ar themâu amrywiaeth, cymhathiad, cydraddoldeb a chyfiawnder i blant a phobl ifanc. Mae’n craffu ar sut mae ymarferion economaidd a gwleidyddol yn effeithio ar gyfleoedd addysgol, a chanlyniadau cymdeithasol a dewisiadau bywyd. Mae’n archwilio swyddogaeth cyrff rhyngwladol, llywodraethau, sefydliadau anllywodraethol etc wrth hyrwyddo hawliau plant a phobl ifanc.

datblygedig a gwledydd sy’n datblygu

•heriau moesol, moesegol, economaidd, a gwleidyddol yr unfed ganrif ar hugain
o ran cam-­drin hawliau ac anghenion plant mewn amrywiol gyd-­destunau, gan gynnwys: plant fel ceiswyr lloches, ymfudwyr economaidd a ffoaduriaid; plant fel caethweision a llafur plant; plant yn filwyr ac yn amddifad oherwydd rhyfel; plant sydd wedi eu hecsbloetio’n rhywiol; plant mewn gwrthdaro diwylliannol a chrefyddol a gweithredoedd terfysgol; plant ag AIDS a phlant yn byw mewn tlodi.

• swyddogaeth ac ymyriad mudiadau rhyngwladol, megis y Cenhedloedd Unedig, ILO, llywodraethau cenedlaethol a chyrff anllywodraethol i sicrhau newid cymdeithasol a chyfiawnder a thegwch i blant a phobl ifanc.
