"Children's WEek" in the world is celebrated in the first week of October and aims to draw public attention to children and their rights guaranteed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on November 20, 1989.
Every child deserves the right to: identity (name, family, citizenship), survival (life, food, treatment), development (upbringing and education), participation (decision-making), protection from various forms of violence, discrimination and neglect.
In order for children to achieve their maximum potential, it is necessary to live in a stimulating and safe environment, to respect children's rights guaranteed by international regulations, and for the family and all social actors to work together for the benefit of children.
On the occasion of "Children's Week" in the Kindergarten "Razigrani dani" of the Municipality of Centar, on October 5, 2023, a visit to the Monument to the murdered children of besieged Sarajevo was realized. The aim of this visit was to explain to the children of kindergarten age when and why this monument was erected and that it is a testimony to the serious forms and methods of crimes against the children of Sarajevo, the crimes committed, the mass and individual murders of children, with a special emphasis on the strategy of killing children.
They were joined by the senior associate of the Institute for Research of Crimes Against Humanity and International Law of the University of Sarajevo, M.Sc. Alma Hajrić-Čaušević, who said on that occasion that children are the future and that no child should ever be injured or killed anywhere.
