Do you have any idea how many children are involved in a divorce on a yearly basis? In the Netherlands these are approximately 70,000 children. Marieke Lips is not only sharing her own story but also sharing her dream on how this can be done differently. What happens if we listen to children to really understand, instead of listening to give an answer. Marieke is a lawyer and she supports children and their parents during their divorce. She is trained as a special curator in youth affairs and child support. From her heart, passion and professionalism, Marieke is committed to the position of children and their rights. She also supports parents, jointly or separately.
This talk was held at a TEDx event, in the style of the TED conferences, but independently organized by a local team. More information about this at http://ted.com/tedx
