Afghanistan reaches historic milestone for children’s rights

KABUL, Afghanistan, 17 August 2009 – The Afghan Ministry of Foreign affairs launched its first report on the Convention of the Rights of the Child, which was ratified by the Afghan Government in 1994.

This is great news everyone! We need to see reports coming from Afghanistan that are hopeful and positive and reflect real change and real constructive efforts from leaders in Afghanistan to help put an end to child labour, forced early child marriage, etc. This article from Unicef makes me very happy as I am a promoter of child rights! Now we can hope that the powers that be will stand on their words and will do what is right!
