‘Promoting children’s well-being paves the way for a brighter tomorrow’
Hindustan TimesLUCKNOW When we take care of children, we take care of our future, said Justice AR Masoodi, senior judge of the Lucknow high court on Sunday. Addressing the audience, Justice Masoodi stated, “Three key institutions handle complaints involving children: the child’s family, the police department, and the judicial system. By taking care of our children, we are essentially nurturing our future.” He further highlighted the potential role of UNICEF in supporting families of such children to guide them toward positive paths and also assisting the government system in addressing external factors that may lead children into conflict with the law. Justice Abdul Moin also shared his insights, saying, “Understanding the reasons behind children engaging in criminal activities is crucial. Let’s illuminate the lives of children who find themselves in challenging circumstances.” Sandeep Kour, director of the Department of Women and Child Development for the state government, and Amit Mehrotra, State Program Manager at UNICEF Uttar Pradesh, also shared their perspectives during the event.
