What are the main goals of the 1st Regional Meeting on the Rights of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents in Luján?
Interview Between Time.news Editor and Child Rights Expert
Time.news Editor (TNE): Welcome to today’s discussion. We’re excited about the 1st Regional Meeting on the Rights of Girls, Boys, and Adolescents taking place in Luján. Joining us is Dr. Gabriel Lerner, an esteemed specialist in child and adolescent rights. Thank you for being here, Dr. Lerner.
Dr. Gabriel Lerner (DGL): Thank you for having me! It’s an honor to discuss such an important event.
TNE: Let’s dive right in. This meeting aims to strengthen networks among different actors involved in promoting and protecting the rights of children and adolescents. Can you explain why such networking is crucial?
DGL: Absolutely! Networking creates a more comprehensive approach to child welfare. When various stakeholders—like social workers, educators, and policymakers—collaborate, they can share insights and strategies to better address the complexities of child protection. This collaborative effort fosters a holistic environment that is essential for the well-being of children.
TNE: The event features various workshops and discussions. Could you highlight one or two sessions that particularly stand out to you and why?
DGL: One session that I find particularly significant is “Prevention of Problematic Consumption in Children.” It addresses not only the issue of substance use but emphasizes the importance of building supportive relationships as preventive measures. This holistic understanding is critical, especially in today’s rapidly changing social landscape.
Another discussion that catches my interest is “Children’s Communication Rights: The Freedom to Express Themselves.” This topic emphasizes the crucial need for children to have their voices heard—not just in their own lives but also in the systems that govern them. Empowering children to communicate effectively about their needs is vital for fostering a rights-respecting culture.
TNE: The variety of topics certainly reflects the multifaceted challenges we face. There’s a session titled “Grooming,” focused on online vulnerability. Why is this topic becoming increasingly relevant?
DGL: With the exponential rise of internet use, children are more vulnerable than ever to online exploitation. Grooming can have devastating effects. By educating caregivers and children about these risks, we can create a safer digital environment. This session is part of a broader strategy to protect children’s rights in all aspects of life, including online.
TNE: The meeting spans two full days of intense workshops and discussions. What do you hope attendees will take away from this experience?
DGL: I hope attendees walk away with a renewed sense of urgency and clear strategies for action. We need practical tools to apply the knowledge they gain, whether that’s new prevention techniques, policies to advocate for, or simply a greater understanding of the importance of a rights-based approach in their work.
TNE: It sounds like an enlightening experience. Luján’s local government, represented by Mayor Leonardo Boto and others, is heavily involved in these discussions. How important is local government support in advancing child rights initiatives?
DGL: Local government support is essential! They are often on the front lines of implementing policies that directly affect children. Their commitment can lead to tangible changes in resource allocation, policy formation, and community engagement. It’s crucial that local leaders express a commitment to the welfare of children to inspire the community and set a standard for national efforts.
TNE: Lastly, what message do you have for parents or caregivers who might be reading this and want to get involved in promoting children’s rights?
DGL: My message is this: Your involvement matters! Whether it’s educating yourself about children’s rights or engaging with local initiatives, every small effort counts. Advocate for your children, lend your voice to policy discussions, and most importantly, listen to children’s voices. Empower them to express their needs and perspectives. Collectively, we can build a society that respects and promotes the rights of all children.
TNE: Thank you, Dr. Lerner, for your insights and for shedding light on these crucial issues. We look forward to seeing the outcomes of the meeting!
DGL: Thank you! I’m excited about the discussions that will take place and hope they lead to meaningful action for children’s rights.
