ProChild CoLAB against Poverty and Social Exclusion and Universidade Católica Portuguesa support the signing of the Pact for Children on the occasion of the commemoration of the 32nd anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1989 and ratified by Portugal in 1990.
This petition calls on all Portuguese sovereign bodies, autonomous regions and local authorities, bodies and services of the state administration, businesses, social organisations and citizens to assume, within their sphere of influence, the priority of children, through active public policy measures and concrete actions to ensure a happy childhood in a cohesive and harmonious society.
To promote this culture of protection and children's rights, the Pact for Children urges to ensure the promotion of social inclusion and the fight against child poverty; to extend prevention and protection against all forms of discrimination and violence against children; the participation of children in decisions and processes relevant to the promotion of their rights and the active promotion of a culture of children's rights at all levels.
ProChild is a collaborative laboratory that aims to develop a national strategy to fight poverty and social exclusion in childhood within a transdisciplinary scientific approach, articulating the public and private sectors, linking academics and professionals in the field, and actively contributing to science-based public policies.
