Children should be free to learn, play, and simply be kids - not forced into labor that robs them of their childhood. Yet an estimated 160 million children worldwide are trapped in child labor, many in hazardous conditions. As a global community, we must take decisive action to #EndChildLabor and restore the fundamental rights and dignity of these young, vulnerable lives. It will take coordinated efforts at every level - from policy reform to community initiatives - to tackle the complex economic and social factors driving this injustice. Let's be a force for change and stand up for a world where all children can thrive. Their potential, their dreams, their futures depend on it. #ChildRights #HumanRights #SocialJustice #EndExploitation #ProtectChildhood #GlobalChange

Habitat Forum (INHAF) invites you for a webinar on Child and City: Are, Cities as they Grow and Develop, Fair to Children? on 22nd August 2024 at 6 PM IST. INHAF's webinar series explores cities from various perspectives like low-cost housing, water supply, and energy. The upcoming webinar will focus on evaluating cities through the lens of children's rights. Beginning with Eglantyne Jebb’s activism in 1919, the child rights movement culminated in the UNCRC in 1989. India ratified the convention in 1992 and parallelly formulated policies like the Juvenile Justice Act and RTE Act in alignment with UNCRC principles. Despite significant strides like the establishment of ChildLine, challenges persist, with urbanization impacting children negatively. Cities lack child-friendly infrastructure, posing risks. It's imperative to prioritize children, involving citizens in planning for a better future. It's time to act with empathy and expertise to ensure a safer, more inclusive environment for children. Rethinking Cities Webinar Series: 119 Date: 22nd August 2024 Time: 6 PM IST Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/gqexP6b9

The way a society cares for and nurtures its children is a direct reflection of its values, priorities, and sense of justice. Mandela’s words remind us that fostering and supporting children is not just an individual act of kindness but a societal responsibility. By nurturing the next generation, we are actively shaping the future and moving toward a more equitable and just society. When we invest in children's well-being, ensuring they have access to education, love, and opportunities, we lay the foundation for a fairer world, where everyone has the chance to thrive. #SupportTheNextGeneration #InvestInChildren #ChildrenAreTheFuture #SocietyAndChildren #NurturingYoungMinds #MandelaWisdom #EqualOpportunitiesForAll #FutureLeaders #JusticeAndEquity #CareForChildren #ChildhoodMatters #BuildingABetterWorld #LoveAndOpportunity #EducationForAll #CreatingABrightFuture #chrysaliscareinitiative
