#Children's wars.
Public activists published an open appeal on social networks under this hashtag. Yes, they are trying to reach the Ministry of Social Policy and the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Pavlo Rozenko. They are trying to explain to officials that Ukraine must fulfill and not contradict the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Activists say that - in 7 months, only 6 children out of 580,000 received the status of a child who suffered as a result of hostilities and armed conflicts.
One of the initiators of the appeal, Daria Kasyanova, writes in her public on the social network:
"Open appeal of Pavlo Rozenko
For 7 months from the date of adoption of Resolution N268, only 6 children of Ukraine received the status of a child injured as a result of military actions, out of more than 580 thousand. The reason is simple: the prescribed procedures do not provide for the protection of the child's rights and therefore do not work.
For six months, the working group finalized the resolution so that Ukraine could fulfill the requirements of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and protect its own children. But the process of making changes is artificially slowed down all the time.
The status is needed first of all in order to assess how many children have suffered; how much professional help is needed; what number of specialists should be prepared for rehabilitation, what state programs should be adopted for their protection.
This concerns migrant children; children living in the gray zone and along the front line; children living in uncontrolled territory; children of ATO soldiers".
