"The children of the world are innocent, vulnerable, and dependent. They are also curious, active, and full of hope. Their
time should be one of joy and peace, of playing, learning, and growing. Their future should be shaped in harmony and
co-operation. Their lives should mature, as they broaden their perspectives and gain new experiences."
(World Declaration on the Survival, Protection, and Development of Children)
"There is no trust more sacred than the one the world holds with children. There is no duty more important than ensuring
that their rights are respected, that their welfare is protected, that their lives are free from fear and want and that
they can grow up in peace." - Kofi Annan
"Children do not constitute anyone's property: they are neither the property of their parents nor even of society. They
belong only to their own future freedom." - Mikhail Bakunin
