<![CDATA[Children need protection not only because they are weak but also because they are the next potential generation. Since they are not yet able to fulfill their own needs and to protect themselves from dangers, they need helps from others in realizing their rights. As a young generation, they deserve mental and physical well-beings to ensure their growth.

Islamic law, for example, stipulates that children deserve early care and protection even when they are still in their mother’s womb.]]>
