Children form the bedrock of human society, playing a pivotal role in shaping its future. The mental and physical well-being of children is paramount, as the foundations of their personalities are laid during their formative years. The trajectory of a nation’s development is intricately linked to the priority accorded to child care in national policies. Recognizing children as the supreme assets of a nation, it is imperative to ensure that they grow into vibrant citizens—physically robust, mentally sound, socially aware, and morally upright.

• Regrettably, despite numerous resolutions and laws at both national and global levels, the plight of children remains far from satisfactory. Throughout history, these innocent and vulnerable beings have endured various forms of exploitation. Efforts are needed to address these challenges and create an environment where children can thrive, fostering a generation that contributes positively to society.
