Children's Day, 2022: Need for Safety of the Child and School

The terrific events happening in our dear nation, do they call for a celebration on a day like this? Is it really a happy children's day? It is obvious that we are just trying to make the children we have with and around us happy whereas there are so many unhappy children in our dear Country today - children whose parents were victims of an unsecured, lawless system, children who were killed and abducted right in school which is supposed to be a safe space.

We would like to reiterate to decision makers and all concerned stakeholders in our dear nation, the need to take the safety of the child and schools as priority. This, when done will make a day like this a truly "Happy Children's Day."

Nevertheless, we wish every child a happy and safe children's day today and everyday.

What are ways we can keep our children and schools safe and happy? Please share your views in the comments. ☺️
