“Proteksyon! Probisyon! Partisipasyon!” A forum on children’s rights
January 21, 2010
Children are entitled to all the rights guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as human beings but children also need special protection and care.
As a fitting way to summarize the lessons and experiences of the projects it has funded for children’s rights and protection, the Philippines-Australia Community Assistance Program (PACAP), an Australian government aid program to the Philippines, will hold a forum on children’s rights on January 27-28, 2010 at the Cebu Grand Hotel in N. Escario St., Cebu City.
The theme of the forum is “Proteksyon! Probisyon! Partisipasyon!”. The forum will provide the avenue for PACAP partners to share lessons from their projects and strengthen their partnerships in addressing children’s rights and protection. Topics and cases will be anchored on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, a universally agreed set of standards and obligations which place children center-stage in the quest for a just, respectful and peaceful society.
