“Nations will not prosper if their children do not heal. To suffer violence in childhood is to be woundedin the soul, and if not healed, to go on to inflict pain on others as well as oneself.No child should be a victim of violence. All children have the right to protection and to first callon their nations’ resources. The time to fulfil their rights is now.”Hon.
