Stop the Prevalence, Prevent the Violence: Safeguarding Children, Building a Secure Philippines.

   


 While celebrating the 2024 National Children's Month, the theme underscores the continuous necessity for a united front in defending the rights and well-being of Filipino children: "Stop the Prevalence, Prevent the Violence: Safeguarding Children, Building a Secure Philippines." This year's focus underscores a pressing need for action, stressing the importance of safeguarding children not only from physical harm, but also from emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse. The theme's focus on ending violence against children shows a greater acknowledgement of how common this issue is.

   Recently, there have been several efforts in the Philippines to address the issue of child abuse and neglect. Nevertheless, even with these initiatives, the rates of violence against children continue to be troublingly elevated. Millions of Filipino children are still experiencing various forms of violence in their homes, schools, or communities, as reported by the Philippine Statistics Authority and child protection organizations. The physical and mental health of children is impacted by this violence, leading to both short-term and long-term effects that can create a cycle of trauma and dysfunction.

    Putting an end to violence against children necessitates using a variety of approaches. The government, local communities, and civil society need to continue working together on policy-making, establishing safe environments for children to express themselves, and promoting atmospheres where respect, dignity, and love are the top priorities. Furthermore, it is essential to have initiatives such as the National Children's Month event to promote a sense of responsibility among adults in safeguarding the well-being of children. The struggle to reduce violence is not only about enforcing stricter laws, but also about shifting societal mindsets, and it begins with every individual.

Reflection on my Journey 2nd Quarter

A. Our coding lessons taught me a lot, particularly how to construct instructions that solve problems for computers. I've found it to be rather fascinating!  B. Since learning new concepts, correcting mistakes, and efficiently managing my time are all part of coding, I occasionally find it difficult.  C. I can practice more, get assistance from my peers, effectively manage my time, and maintain my good attitude to deal with coding obstacles.  D. Moving on, I will improve my skills by investigating more complex coding methods and using them in practical applications. Reference:  https://sl.bing.net/bi6Yw7Ci9oi
