Today we remember child victims of aggression. Aggression comes in many forms. War, poverty, child labour, denial of child rights, torture in families, child abuse, using children for begging, training and employing children in pick pocketing or stealing, child sex, etc.
Children being the future of every nation need care, protection, recognition of their human and fundamental rights and the like.
Parents, guardians, educational institutions, orphanages, child care centres, police, administration, politicians, etc. have prime responsibility in honouring child rights and protecting children from becoming victims of aggression.
Let us build a happy world for children.
