‘LET’S PROTECT CHILDREN FROM ABUSE, EXPLOITATION’ – AFAM OSIGWE

NEWS RELEASE

WE MUST PROTECT CHILDREN FROM ALL FORMS OF ABUSE, NEGLECT AND EXPLOITATION – AFAM OSIGWE, SAN ON CHILDREN’S DAY

Today, as we celebrate the joy, innocence, and boundless potential of every child, it is crucial to reflect on the responsibilities we hold towards ensuring their well-being and future. Every child deserves to grow up in a safe, nurturing environment where their rights are respected and protected.

The Child Rights Act, which enshrines the fundamental rights of children to education, health care, protection from abuse, and the opportunity to participate in decisions affecting their lives, is a vital framework for safeguarding their future. Yet, for many children, these rights remain unfulfilled promises.

On this special day, let us renew our commitment to prompt and full implementation of the Child Rights Act across all regions. It is our collective duty to ensure that every child has access to quality education. Let us work towards building schools, training teachers, and providing the resources needed to create an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all children.

We should also ensure that healthcare services are available to all children, ensuring they grow up healthy and strong. This includes regular medical check-ups, vaccinations, and nutrition programs.

Children must be protected from all forms of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. We need robust systems in place to safeguard children’s rights and ensure their safety in all settings, whether at home, in school, or the community.

Children also have the right to express their opinions and be heard in matters affecting their lives. Let us create spaces where children can freely share their thoughts and participate actively in decision-making processes.

As we honor our children today, let us renew our commitment to making their rights a reality. By working together—governments, communities, families, and individuals—we can create a world where every child is empowered to achieve their full potential.

Remember, the future belongs to our children, and it is our actions today that will shape their tomorrow. Let’s make it a future filled with hope, opportunity, and love.

Happy Children’s Day!
