Abstract

Sonja Matter Universal or Different? Sexuality, Childhood, and the Internationalisation of Marriage and Consent Age Regulations in the League of Nations in the 1920s Established in 1925, the League of Nations' Child Welfare Committee (CWC) campaigned for the improvement of children's rights. The age of both marriage and consent figured on the political agenda early in the campaign. CWC members aimed at raising these minimum ages on international level. The article discusses how the idea that childhood would end at the age of twelve was globalised as well as the role attributed to sexuality in distinguishing childhood from adolescence. By using analytical categories such as gender and race the article shows how patriarchal and imperialistic orders modified and shaped universal claims in child protection.
