Flag for children's rights: Perg sets signs of a better future

perg. On a significant day for the rights of children, the children's rights flag was raised in front of the municipal office in Perg. This campaign took place in the presence of families of children's friends and municipal representatives, including Vice Mayor Peter Ganglberger from the ÖVP and SPÖ parliamentary group spokesman Michael Harrucksteiner. The occasion was the "day of children's rights", a date dedicated to this important concern.

Bettina Heim, the chairwoman of the Kinderfreunde Perg, commented on this event and emphasized that the organization has been fighting for the rights and well -being of children since its foundation in 1908. "Children's rights should guarantee every child access to protection, education and participation," she said. This statement illustrates the central role that the children's friends take in the community.

In the course of the event, important claims to the next federal government were also formulated. These concerns are intended to improve the life situation of children in Austria. One focus is on education. The children's friends demand that education should be free and accessible to everyone. Specifically, the desire for a full -day school up to the age of 14 is expressed, supplemented by free lunch and comprehensive language support for all children, regardless of their origin.

Another central concern is climate protection, since children are particularly affected by the effects of the climate crisis. Here the children's friends demand that climate protection regulations are anchored in children's rights. In addition, the use of public transport should be free of charge for all children and adolescents, which would make a significant contribution to environmentally friendly mobility.

These initiatives are not only important for the legal framework, but also for social awareness. The day of children's rights and the associated action in Perg are the aim of strengthening the children's voices and putting their rights at the center of the political agenda.
