Dear Rights of the child community. 2023 is coming to an end. We wanted to start this edition of the newsletter on a positive note, but it is difficult looking at the situation around the globe and the impacts on children. “Children do not start conflicts; they deserve and need peace,” was rightly put in the Joint Statement by the European Commission and the High Representative issued on the World’s Children Day. Nevertheless, we will try to bring some positives. In the same statement, we read about the upcoming Commission Recommendation on the integrated child protection systems, on the EU Children’s Participation Platform, Better Internet for Kids, European Child Guarantee and many other initiatives that took or will take place to make children’s live easier and happier. And this is our wish for 2024. For every child. Every right.
