Every child, girl or boy and irrespective of household income, deserves wholesome education as well as a safe environment for peer-to-peer social interaction, learning and balanced development. Children should have access to wholesome education, that help harness their innate abilities and promote their national heritage. Children should be living in safe & secure environments with family who care about their tripartite development. Internal conflicts, abductions, abuse of socio-economic and political power disrupt this social order. Children are NOT tools for crime. Children are the future of sustainable development in all societies. #End Inequalities #Peace #Security #Safe School Initiative #savethechildren Save the Children International UNICEF UNESCO Photo credit: UNAIDS
