To conclude, we are grateful to the Government of Canada for its continued interest and support to make this world a better place for children. To better protect children, we encourage you to ensure that children can participate in decisions that affect their lives, that the root causes of violence are taken into account to prevent violence before it happens, and that we work collectively—government, civil society, and children—through a systems approach to respond to violence wherever it happens.
Children have a right to live in a safe environment, to thrive, to be loved, and only like this will they turn into healthy, educated, empowered citizens who will bring peace and prosperity to the world.
We thank you for your attention, and we're happy to answer your questions.
