Celebrate children's rights: Leonding sets a strong sign of protection!

A special anniversary is celebrated in Leonding this year: the UN Convention on the Rights of Children has been on the UN Rights Rights, and the children's friends take this as an opportunity to point out the importance of children's rights loudly. The celebrations culminated in the proclamation of a "children's rights republic", a symbol of the commitment to the rights and the protection of children. A child's rights flag was specially launched in front of the city office, together with Mayor Sabine Naderer-Jelinek. In addition, the children's friends organized a happy children's rights party where the focus was on games and fun.

The chairwoman of the children's friends Leonding, Renate Marx, emphasizes the urgency of the topic: "As long as only one child in this world happens, it is important to fight for children's rights." The explanation of its own children's rights republic is intended to set a strong sign that society takes responsibility for the well-being of the children seriously.
