have you seen the collective change-my-profile-picture phenomenon happening in our most loved social network? no, this is not a case of people thinking the same thoughts at exactly the same time. it is simply their reply to a challenge.
the challenge:
The United Nations Secretary-General’s Study on Violence against Children concludes that violence against children happens everywhere, in every country and society and across all social groups. Extreme violence against children may hit the headlines but children say that daily, repeated small acts of violence and abuse also hurt them. While some violence is unexpected and isolated, most violent acts against children are carried out by people they know and should be able to trust: parents, boyfriends or girlfriends, spouses and partners, schoolmates, teachers and employers. Violence against children includes physical violence, psychological violence such as insults and humiliation, discrimination, neglect and maltreatment. Although the consequences may vary according to the nature and severity of the violence inflicted, the short- and long-term repercussions for children are very often grave and damaging.
we ought to foster a safe and healthy environment for our children to grow up in. lofty goals i know but with a simple click of your mouse, you can help this cause reach to more people out there.
so waste no more time and google that favorite childhood cartoon character of yours.
