"Together for Democracy" – Demonstration in Berlin
Berlin, February 10, 2025 – The children's rights organization Terre des Hommes joins the action alliance "Together for Democracy" and will be holding a demonstration in Berlin on February 10 to advocate for democracy and social cohesion.
“As everywhere in the world, our liberal democracy in Germany is also coming under pressure from right-wing extremist forces. It is important that we, together with our allies, confront this danger today and now and advocate for an open, democratic, and inclusive society,” says Joshua Hofert, spokesperson for the board of Terre des Hommes . “For us as a children’s rights organization, this means: Children growing up today need an environment in which they experience democratic values on a small scale – in their families, neighborhoods, and schools. This is how they learn to form their own opinions, participate, and have a say in a non-violent environment and become aware of their rights as children and young people. Children’s rights and democratic values are inextricably linked. They are the foundation for the well-being of children – today and tomorrow.”
