Children have the right to be heard and adults should listen to their views. T. Hammarberg

Of particular importance is the child's right to protection from all forms of abuse and violence.

Children need safe environments where they can feel free to speak without the risk of being shamed or punished for their views.

Children have the right to be who they are. J. Korczak

Children are not prospective humans, they are already human beings.

I am not here to be loved and admired, but to act and love. J. Korczak

In all actions concerning children the best interests of the child shall be a primary consideration.
