Editorial
The Children of Yemen platform launches as a specialized platform with content directed and aimed at children, and with an independent identity. It discusses issues in comprehensive, responsible, professional journalistic formats, detailed reports and investigative investigations, in addition to interviews and articles concerned with awareness and education, distributed through electronic interface tabs that are technically designed to achieve real interaction with the platform’s discussions and its keenness. To provide comprehensive answers to the situation of children, as they are the focus of its attention. It also emphasizes the consistency of its goals and the diversity of its legal, educational, awareness-raising and media content. It launched its work from within Yemen, pledging to: get closer to the concerns of children and provide intensive and professional coverage carried out by a team adopting children’s issues and highlighting their forgotten lives and re-exporting them despite everything. Complexities, especially in countries of war and at a time when countries and governments have abandoned their obligations related to children.
In such a situation, the platform, with its local team, pledges to draw attention to the reality of children and its challenges, and carefully monitor violations throughout the country, reminding of methods of protection, taking upon itself the responsibility of bringing about an actual change in the reality of children that enhances their entitlement to privileges included in global legislation that protects them from dangers and threats in light of the life they live as they grow up. With poverty, hunger, diaspora and death, their basic needs became impossible dreams, and their schools became military targets. Their meaning was absent or absent. Here the platform tries to clarify the situation. Childhood in Yemen has turned into a polarization of warring parties and an environment for diseases and deprivation. In fact, homes and villages are devoid of children as a result of their loss to disease or murder, and whoever survived. He developed devastating disabilities, both psychologically and physically.
My bitter review of the reality of childhood does not seem new, but it is a reminder of the necessity of implementing binding international and societal pledges, rather a humanitarian and national responsibility with the aim of protecting children and guaranteeing their rights at an age stage that is considered the most affected and influential in shaping the personality traits of today’s child, the maker of tomorrow for the people.
The platform witnesses and tracks the details of the diaries of more than 14 million Yemeni children whose country has ratified United Nations legislation related to children and whose successive governments have ignored them. The platform seeks to be a strong supporter of the issues of Yemeni children in local and international forums. Revealing what is intended to remain obscure or forgotten, supporting efforts to secure children’s basic rights and contributing to the development of their awareness and the well-being of their lives.
