We all know
that children are an important segment of our population since they are our
country's future. Today's children will grow up to be adults who will work
and manage the country in the future. As a result, the country's future
well-being is dependent on today's children. Because they are deemed
vulnerable, children are entitled to special protection and help. Every child
has rights, regardless of age, ethnicity, gender, wealth, or birthplace. Peace,
dignity, tolerance, freedom, equality, and solidarity should be instilled in
all children. Children have a much better chance of growing up in a society
that allows them to thrive when their rights are protected.
Covid 19
has been around for a year, and it has affected children just as much as it has
adults. Children become sick less frequently than adults, but a few children
have become very ill. Because it is a pandemic, officials have imposed a
lockdown, which means that children are unable to go outside and must remain at
home 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Not all children have a perfect home,
because some children have endured abuse, neglect, exploitation, and violence
in their own homes. The children's home is becoming dangerous. Furthermore,
growing up in a home where there is violence and abuse has a significant impact
on a child's growth, dignity, and physical and psychological well-being.
Children's rights are crucial because they protect children against abuse and
violence. While other children feel agitated, anxious, and depressed as a
result of their circumstances, they are suffering anxiety and sadness. Children
are also experiencing these as a result of the new method of learning. They were under too much pressure, and as a result, they took
their own lives.
The
COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated how inequality affects every child's rights.
Children and young people are raising their voices on problems that concern to their generation, such as climate change, education, and mental health, as well
as abolishing prejudice and discrimination, and calling on adults to help them
create a better future. It is more crucial than ever during World Children's
Month. Children must be protected at all costs because they are the future of
our country.
