Children’s Week 2025, we proudly celebrate the rights of every child, to be heard, to be safe, to learn, to grow, and to be treated with dignity and respect. We acknowledge that all children are created in the likeness of God.
Children’s rights are not just ideals they are essential and the responsibility of all of society. They shape and guide us on the way we care for, educate, and empower our children. When we understand and uphold these rights, we create environments where children feel valued, protected, and free to reach their full potential.
Let’s take this opportunity to listen to children’s voices, educate ourselves and others about their rights, and commit to building a world where every child thrives.
