Why is socio-economic help important for children?

education, medical care, along with safe environment. However, grievously shortcoming in society such as poverty, hunger, war and conflict, poor health care, malnutrition, all disproportionately harm children, and puts hazard on their living standards which later compiles them to make challenging decisions. For such community, the policies of government have consequential impact on wellbeing of children and should take into account that protecting these members of society economically and socially is a major investment in the future wellbeing of earth. On 20 November 1989, General Assembly of United Nations recognized that there is a critical need to protect children from such disturbances and deemed to consent that children’s not only entails human rights but more specifically stand in need of “(CRC) Children’s Rights Convention”. CRC binds the governments to a set of international accepted human right’s act that must be followed respectively. It is the most ratified human rights treaty and so far 196 countries are signatories to that convention.

Despite remarkable achievements of the century and great sign of progress in adopting and implementing the core principle of CRC, a key challenge stands still. That is a huge number of children and young people who και είπε: «Μου αρέσει να απολαμβάνω την παιδική μου ηλικία, αλλά δεν έχω άλλη επιλογή από το να δουλέψω. Ποιος θέλει να δουλεύει κάτω από τον ήλιο που καίει στα χωράφια, για να μαζεύει ντομάτες; Είναι όμως ανάγκη, ώστε εμείς και οι οικογένειές μας να μην πεινάσουμε. Δεν λαμβάνουμε επαρκή υποστήριξη και ο αγώνας για να καλύψουμε τις ανάγκες μας μάς ωθεί να εργαστούμε εκατοντάδες μίλια μακριά από τις οικογένειές μας». Κλείνοντας, πιστεύω ακράδαντα ότι μια κοινωνία που δεν φροντίζει τα παιδιά της είναι καταδικασμένη να εκλείψει στο μέλλον. Είναι ευθύνη της κυβέρνησης να ΣΕΒΕΤΑΙ, να ΠΡΟΣΤΑΤΕΥΕΙ και να ΕΚΠΛΗΡΩΝΕΙ αυτά τα δικαιώματα, παρά να θεωρεί πως είναι προαιρετικά ή πράξη φιλανθρωπίας και καλοσύνης. Εμείς, ως μέλη της κοινωνίας, πρέπει να γνωρίζουμε την αλήθεια και να υπερασπιζόμαστε αυτές τις ευάλωτες ομάδες ανθρώπων με κάθε δυνατό τρόπο, γιατί οι μεγάλες αλλαγές ξεκινούν μέσα μας και οι φωνές μας μπορούν να μετράνε, να δρουν και να έχουν σημασία.

 Αρθρο 26/ΣΔΠ: Τα Συμβαλλόμενα Κράτη αναγνωρίζουν σε κάθε παιδί το δικαίωμα να επωφελείται από κοινωνική ασφάλεια, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της κοινωνικής ασφάλισης, και πρέπει να λαμβάνουν τα απαραίτητα μέτρα για την πραγματοποίηση αυτού του δικαιώματος σύμφωνα με το εθνικό τους δίκαιο compile us to work hundreds of miles away from our family. ‘’ lack of there rights. There are millions of children, who are deprived of their rights at this precise moment, and millions of children are compiled to work since choices for them are not optional. To exemplify, Omer, 16 years old war refugee, whom refuged to Greece in 2019 works in olive field and often paints apartment. When acknowledged about his rights he nodded and said “ well, I like to enjoy my childhood too, I’m left with no choice but to work. Who wants to work under burning sun in the fields to collect tomatoes unless them and their families are left to starve. We don’t get supported enough, and the struggle to make our needs meet

To conclude, I strongly believe that a society that does not take care of its tomorrow, is doomed to become extinct in the future. Although it’s the government’s responsibility to RESPECT, PROTECT, and FULFILL these rights rather than an optional act of charity or kindness, we –as members of the society- should not absent our presence in acknowledging the truth and supporting these vulnerable human beings in any possible way, because great changes start within ourselves and our voices do count, do act and do matter.

 Article 26/CRC: States Parties shall recognize for every child the right to benefit from social security, including social insurance, and shall take the necessary measures to achieve the full realization of this right in accordance with their national law.
