Friends, we can do this. Governments must make child-friendly
policies, and invest in education and young people. Businesses must be
more responsible, accountable and open to innovative partnerships.
Intergovernmental agencies must work together to accelerate action.
Global civil society must rise above the business-as-usual and
fragmented agendas. Faith leaders and institutions, and all of us must
stand with our children.
We must be bold, we must be ambitious, and we must have the
will. We must keep our promises.
Over fifty years ago, on the first day of my school, I met a cobblerboy my age sitting outside the gate of my school. I asked my teachers:
"Why is he working outside? Why is he not with us in the school?" My
teachers had no answer. One day, I I gathered the courage to ask the
boy's father. He said: "Sir, I have never thought about it. We are born to
work."
His answer made me angry. It still makes me angry.
As a child, I had a vision of tomorrow. A vision of that cobbler
boy sitting with me in my classroom.
Now, that tomorrow has become TODAY. I am TODAY, and you
are TODAY. TODAY it is time for every child to have a right to life,
right to freedom, right to health, right to education, right to safety, right
to dignity, right to equality, and right to peace.
TODAY, beyond the darkness, I see the smiling faces of our
children in the blinking stars. TODAY, in even7 wave of every ocean. I
see my children are playing and dancing. TODAY, in every plant, in
every tree, and mountain, I see our children growing freely with dignity.
