National Children's Month is celebrated every November to give importance to children around the world. This law was declared to give protection and guidance to every child. This theme compels us to confront the reality that too many children are living in fear, experiencing physical, emotional, and sexual abuse, neglect, and exploitation.  It's not just about raising awareness; it's about taking concrete action, dismantling the systems that perpetuate violence and building a culture of protection.
