“Our goal is a society in which all children are optimally supported according to their needs, so that everyone has equal opportunities for a good life,” explains NRAbg. Christian Oxonitsch, chairman of the Vienna Children’s Friends. “Unfortunately, many developments in recent years have shown that this is not a concern for all people in Austria. Otherwise there wouldn’t be growing child poverty, violence against children, too few affordable health services for children and young people, neglect and calls for prison sentences for children,” complains Oxonitsch, also the SPÖ spokesman for children and children’s rights in parliament.
That’s why the children’s friends have been fighting for years together with Volkshilfe for basic child security, insisting on the complete inclusion of children’s rights in the constitution (only 7 of more than 40 children’s rights are currently included there) and massively campaigning for more support for educators and youth welfare a.
“The rights and needs of children and young people need much more constructive political attention. The Children’s Friends and Red Falcons will continue to work towards this. For example, by inviting families and political leaders to 23 festivals simultaneously throughout Vienna,” concluded Oxonitsch.
