Addressing the media freedom day seminar yesterday National Council of Women President Susan Setae said it is the right of a child to grow up in home that is safe. Home is the foundation and the backbone for a healthy and quality society, Mrs Setae said.
Home is where father, mother and the children grow together.
Home must at all cost be a safe place where children are free to play, work and live with the careful guidance of parents and or guardians. As much as the children s right to grow up in a home, it is also equally important for the child s right to belong to a family in a home. The institution of family is the pillar of a strong and responsible society. Father is the pillar of the family while the mother is the backbone. The togetherness of both the father and the mother in raring their children is vital for the stability of a strong family unit.
