Today i will start to turn around a biblical commandment. "Thou shalt honor father and mother," it says in the Ten Commandments, and that is certainly well worth considering. If I turn around, it reads: "Honor thy children." I do not think the Good Lord would mind.
is 20 years ago, the UN Children's Convention entered into force. Children therefore have the right to clean water, food, medical care, education, to leisure and play, non-violent upbringing, and to have a say in decisions that affect their welfare.
Today, 20 years later is growing, the gap among children in Germany - on the one hand, those who grow up healthy and protected, on the other hand, those whose daily life is characterized by lack and exclusion.
ask why UNICEF and the German Children's Fund for World Children's Day today a change of perspective and policy change. Under the slogan "respect for children," they demand more equality in education, more equality of opportunity and securing a better future for all children in Germany.
Honor thy children. This is not only an obligation for parents. But for a whole country.
