Bakan’s connection to the Centre for Child Honouring goes back to his 2006 contribution to the anthology, Child Honouring: How To Turn This World Around,=0D=0A=
(co-edited by Centre founder Raffi Cavoukian). His essay “Kids and The Corporation” is a potent critique of corporate power and its impact on children.=0D=0A=

“Bakan’s thinking very much supports the Centre’s call for business to respect children, not exploit their innocence,” Raffi says. “The Centre advocates a culture of respect towards children.  Respecting Earth and Child is the best way to create humane and sustainable societies,” notes Raffi.=0D=0A=
