Have In Common?What Does The Campaign In The Interests'Of Children ™ & Have In Common?
The latest UNICEF report (click here to download PDF 1.52MB) severely criticizes Western Govts of failing to address issues relating to children's welfare in the industrialised World. The United Kingdom together with the United States ranked last out of 21 countries!!!
The distinct lack of interest by Govts and its organs to address these issues, and in other instances are a party in exacerbating them. Our petition was set up to highlight this and the dangers it has as a society. This latest finding is a further confirmation to what we all know and do not do anything about it.
