why the world is so brutal towards children...........................
Answers from KailaSh satyarthi and Malala................
I represent here the sound of silence.
The cry of innocence. And, the face of invisibility. I have come here to share
the voices and dreams of our children, our children, because they are all our
children.
There is no greater violence than to
deny the dreams of our children.
The single aim of my life is that every
child is:
free to be a child,
free to grow and develop,
free to eat, sleep, see daylight,
free to laugh and cry,
free to play,
free to learn, free to go to school,
and above all,
free to dream.
All the great religions tell us to care for children. Jesus
said: "Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for the kingdom of
God belongs to them.” The Holy Quran says: "Kill not your children because
of poverty.”
I refuse to accept that all the temples and mosques and
churches and prayer houses have no place for the dreams of our children.
I refuse to accept that the world is so poor, when just one
week of global spending on armies is enough to bring all of our children into
classrooms.
I refuse to accept that all the laws and constitutions, and
the judges and the police are not able to protect our children.
I refuse to accept that the shackles of slavery can ever be
stronger than the quest for freedom.
Mahatma Gandhi said, "If we are to
teach real peace in this world... we shall have to begin with the children.” I
humbly add, let us unite the world through the compassion for our children.
I, therefore, call upon all the
governments, intergovernmental agencies, businesses, faith leaders, the civil
society, and each one of us, to put an end to all forms of violence against
children. Slavery, trafficking, child marriages,
child labour, sexual abuse, and illiteracy have no place in any civilised
society.
I call for a march from exploitation to education, from
poverty to shared prosperity, a march from slavery to liberty, and a march from
violence to peace.
Education is one of the blessings of life-and one of
its necessities. That has been my experience during the 17 years life.
We had a thirst for education because
our future was right there in that classroom. We would sit and read and learn
together. We loved to wear neat and tidy school uniforms and we would sit there
with big dreams in our eyes. We wanted to make our parents proud and prove that
we could excel in our studies and achieve things, which some people think only
boys can.
Many children in
India and Pakistan are deprived of their right to education because of social
taboos, or they have been forced into child labour and girls into child
marriages.
It is not time to tell the leaders to
realise how important education is - they already know it - their own children
are in good schools. Now it is time to call them to take action.
We ask the world leaders to unite and make education their top priority.
Why is it that countries which we
call "strong" are so powerful in creating wars but so weak in
bringing peace?
Why is it that giving guns is so easy but giving books is so
hard?
Why is it that making tanks is so easy, but building schools is so
difficult?
Dear sisters and brothers, let us
become the first generation to decide to be the last.
The empty classrooms, the lost
childhoods, wasted potential-let these things end with us.
Let this be the last time that a boy
or a girl spends their childhood in a factory.
Let this be the last time that a girl
gets forced into early child marriage.
Let this be the last time that an
innocent child loses their life in war.
Let this be the last time that a
classroom remains empty.
Let this be the last time that a girl
is told education is a crime and not a right.
Let this be the last time that a
child remains out of school.
Let us begin this ending.
Let this end with us.
And let us build a better future
right here, right now.
Answer from Aristotle:
“For man, when perfected, is the best of animals, but, when
separated from law and justice, he is the worst of all; since armed injustice
is the more dangerous, and he is equipped at birth with the arms of
intelligence and with moral qualities which he may use for the worst ends.
Wherefore, if he have not virtue, he is the most unholy and the most savage of
animals, and the most full of lust and gluttony. But justice is the bond of men
in states, and the administration of justice, which is the determination of
what is just, is the principle of order in political society.”
― Aristotle
