Women’s rights advocates square off over status of Afghan women


This is an excellent example of why we need to stay and promote positve change in Afghanistan! Promote education and promote human rights, child rights, a stable economy and enough resources so the Afghan people can regain their country and their basic human rights. Congratulations CanILF! This is a great accomplishment! Keep up the great work!

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!

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!
