The numbers of refugee, neglected, abused or illiterate children are still growing. Problems are not limited to Eastern Europe. The problem of sexual abuse and child pornography is one that is a concern of both eastern and western Europe. Often in a producer and consumer perspective. The problem of stress and its resulting health problems is a widespread and groiwng problem.
Young people do, however, show a strong sense of equality and democratic values.
The present declaration is the expression of what young people and children of Europe believe and what measures they think should be taken by the authorities and other stakeholders in order to diminish the harmful effect that some actions and processes have on the children and their rights. Once and for all is must be understood that diversity is a valuable resources instead of a reason for disregarding other's right. Education gives knowledge, knowldge understanding and understanding acceptance. Children with disabilities must be seen as individuals instead a group. The child must be seen not his handicap.
