Child rights are HUMAN rights!

Most people tend to push child abuse under the carpet, out of sight and out of mind, but for me it is an issue that deserves front and center stage. Children have the right to life, they have the right to protection, they have the right to provision, they have the right to safety, shelter, food, health care, education and every other "human" right that we all should enjoy. Sadly, so many children around the globe and even in our own neighborhoods do not have adequate care and are being abused, maltreated, neglected and denied their basic human rights. That is why I promote child abuse awareness. Become educated regarding the issues surrounding child abuse, then become empowered to help change this world for the better by supporting organizations around the globe, and even in our own cities that are changing this world for the better! These children are counting on us, and they cannot wait! Let's get involved!
