Happiness You Bring

Nobody can argue with the fact that children brings joy to a home. Every children is special in their own way. and with their little hands, they need to be protected and cared for.

We all are aware that cases of child labor, child abuse and even abandoned children are growing and they do not deserve that.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC) adopted on 20 November 1989 is the first legally binding universal treaty solely dedicated to the promotion and protection of children’s rights. It sets out the rights that must be realized for every child – the rights to survival, development, protection, and participation. It offers a vision of the child as an individual and as a member of a family and community, with rights and responsibilities appropriate to his or her age and stage of development.

By virtue of Republic Act 10661, the National Children’s Month (NCM) in the Philippines which commemorates the adoption of the UN CRC on 20 November 1989, is annually celebrated every November. It seeks to instill its significance in the Filipino consciousness.

This November 2019 marks the 30th anniversary of the UNCRC and the 27th year of the NCM. Since the country’s ratification of the UN CRC in July 1990, there is much to be celebrated. However, despite over-all gains and continuing efforts of the Philippine Government, Filipino children and their family still face challenges which compromise their human rights and benefits of development.
