With World Children’s Day Around The Corner Urgent Action and Recommitment To Child Rights is Much Needed.
ICHR strongly stands in solidarity with children’s rights and call on the international community to pay more attention and take firm action to accelerate progress in advancing child rights, and their security and well-being worldwide.
“There have been impressive gains for children over the past three decades, as more and more are living longer, better and healthier lives. However, the odds continue to be stacked against the poorest and most vulnerable.”
Such as The Refugee children that are living alone, without parents or families.
No parents.
No grandparents.
No aunts or uncles.
No guardians.
No choice.
111,000 unaccompanied children were forced to flee violence.
Poverty, discrimination and marginalization continue to leave millions of the most disadvantaged children at risk: Armed conflicts, rising xenophobia and the global migration and refugee crisis all have a devastating impact on global progress.
Children are physically, physiologically and epidemiologically most at risk of the impacts of the climate crisis: Rapid changes in climate are spreading disease, increasing the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, and creating food and water insecurity. Unless urgent action is taken, the worst for many children is yet to come.
