To the AfD federal party conference
In the opinion of Terre des Hommes of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, contradicting, a number of claims that are to be decided at the AfD federal party conference in Riesa or endanger the welfare of children. On the occasion of this, we call up politics and society to respect and defend the rights of all children.
- If the AfD would enforce its plans, a number of children with special educational needs that they have to leave the regular school. We stand for an education system that takes all children with us.
- The projects in the field of migration endanger the rights and the probably refugee children , in particular through further restrictions on family reunification and the outsourcing of asylum procedures. We say: These children need stability and security - no hostility and further restrictions on their rights.
- , people's influence on climate change is also described as "scientifically unclear" and various measures against climate change are rejected. We say: children need knowledge and climate policy action, no ideology of ignorance.
These are just three examples. A detailed statement can be found in our press release .
»I ask the democratic parties to respect and protect the rights of all children instead of taking over rhetoric and demands of the AfD. Children's rights create the basis for a self -determined life and ensure the framework conditions of child development. They are indivisible and stand for protection, education, participation and equal opportunities. These valuable aspects of human life must be preserved. "
