At a Glance Who are Children First:
Children First regards the physical and emotional well-being of all children, their welfare and their free development as the most paramount priority under all circumstances and views the position of the child as a fundamental measure of the worth of any society and culture. The way a society treats its children is the most telling testimony to its humanity and liberty. Children must come first, above any national, economic, political, ideological, religious and cultural considerations and interests.
Children First is an international campaign, both in its outlook and in the scope of its activities. Children First do not recognise any geographical, political, national, ethnic, cultural and religious barriers and boundaries to our defense of the rights of children. Children First sees children’s rights as universal. Children First endeavours to expand its activities to include as many countries and communities as possible
