United Nations Tweeted That Every Child Has A Right to Grow Free From Fear

For a lot many students around the world, a school is a dangerous place. The United Nations asked young people about their experiences with violence in and around schools – and what they feel needs to be done to stop it. The response was overwhelming, with more than a million young people having their say. More than 2 in 3 young people said they worry about violence in and around schools. But they also have ideas on what students, parents, teachers, and governments can do to help make schools safer. They brought more than 100 young people from around the world together to craft a youth manifesto for ending violence in schools.

Here’s How The Youth Manifesto Want To Fix The Problem:

  • Diversity and Tolerance: Equality is the foundation of promoting diversity and tolerance in schools. Equality should be taught and demonstrated at home and reinforced in schools. We must recognize that we are all equal. Our differences, including culture, gender, identity, disability, sexual orientation, nationality, race, ethnicity, migration status, and religion make us unique and should be celebrated rather than divide us.
  • Protection For All Students: In keeping with the principle of peaceful, respectful coexistence, and as institutions through which change can be made, schools, in collaboration with parents, peers, and society at large, must care for, support, and protect all students – those who experience violence and those who engage in violent behaviour.
  • Being Kind: We commit to being respectful and careful in how we treat our community and to speak up when it is safe to do so. Kindness is a responsibility that begins with each of us.
  • Reporting Violence: We commit to breaking taboos and the victimization around reporting violence. We will seek out trusted authorities such as teachers, counsellors, community representatives, and other students when we witness or learn of violence in and around the school.
  • Taking Action: We commit to starting and supporting initiatives that will promote unity, curiosity, and mutual respect at home, in school, and in our communities – including online. We will protect each other and have each other’s backs.

Over To You:
The united nations demand to Take them seriously, establish clear rules, make laws restricting weapons, ensure our safety to and from school, provide secure school facilities, train teachers and counsellors, teach consent and respond to sexual violence.
