Children First Now (CFN)
is a voluntary independent organisation formed to defend the civil and
human rights of children and to fight for improvement in their living
conditions and social status worldwide. Children First Now
regards the physical and emotional well-being of all children, their
welfare and their free developement as the most paramount priority
under all circumstances and views the position of the child as a
fundamental measure of the worth of any society and culture. The way a
society treats its children is the most telling testimony to its
humanity and liberty. Children must come first, above any national,
economic, political, ideological, religious and cultural
considerations and interests.
-
Children First Now
is an international campaign, both in its outlook and in the scope of
its activities. We do not recognise any geographical, political,
national, ethnic, cultural and religious barriers and boundaries to
our defense of the rights of children. We see children’s rights as
universal. Children First Now endevours to expand its
activities to include as many countries and communities as possible.
-
Children First Now
is a citizens’ campaign, a non-governmental organisation appealing to
all concerned citizens. All who care about the fate of children in our
society can become members and/or activists of CFN.
-
CFN
resorts to all means legally at its disposal, from acting as a
lobbyist pressure group to mobilising mass meetings, demonstrations
and direct action by people, in order to fight for children’s rights
and well-being. CFN will also engage in a continuing campaign
to raise public awareness and sensitivity regarding the conditions of
children in society.
-
CFN
relies first and foremost on the support and contributions of the
people who share its concerns. CFN welcomes, however, any assistance
by governmental and non-governmental bodies that seek to support CFN
’s activities.
-
CFN
is a non-profit organisation. As a rule, with the exception of a
limited number of paid full-time officers, the activists of CFN
work on a voluntary basis.
