Themed “Children with children’s issues”, the event created a venue for children
to voice their ideas and aspirations, as well as put forth proposals concerning
several noticeable problems like drowning, violence and abuse of children,
impact of digital technology on children’s development, child trafficking, and
early marriage
Through presentations, art performances and paintings, the children expressed
their hope to live in a safer environment, have better care, receive life skill
education, and particularly have their opinions respected.
Speaking at the forum, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Van
Quy said although a wide range of policies have been carried out to protect
children’s rights, many in remote areas are suffering tremendous disadvantages.
He asked competent agencies, districts and towns to strictly implement the Law
on Children, and promote effective models to take care of the children such as
“safe house”, “safe school” and “safe community”, as well as those preventing
violence and abuse of children.
Due attention must be paid to carrying out regulations on receiving information
and coordinating actions to handle child abuse cases.
He called on businesses to join hands with local authorities to create more
playgrounds for children.
Within the framework of the forum, children had a chance to offer incense at A1
martyrs’ cemetery, visit the Dien Bien Phu Victory Museum, and exchange with
disadvantaged children at the centre for social protection of children, and SOS
children’s village.
