“Children today - World tomorrow”.
Currently, the whole province has over 360,000 children (accounting for over 22% of the population). In reality, no locality or family wants to have to deal with, witness, monitor or bear the burden of their children living, studying and working in difficult and deprived conditions. Even less want to witness stories where children are the subject of violence, abuse, abandonment, law violations... However, heartbreaking incidents involving children still occur.
In June 2024, due to a conflict in family life, Le Xuan Hung used an electric wire to hit CSNM (11 years old) many times, causing M to have many scratches and bruises on her body. Immediately after that, the subject was temporarily detained by the authorities and strictly handled according to the provisions of the law. However, it is not known when the "wound" in the child's soul will heal.
In another development, in November 2024, 6 students from Hien Quan Secondary School, Tam Nong District drowned while playing on the banks of the Red River, of which only 1 was lucky enough to be rescued. The other 5 students were never able to return home, leaving behind grief for their families, relatives, teachers, and friends.
Recently, in April 2025, a short clip was circulated on Facebook, recording a scene of a male student being insulted, beaten, and forced to perform a number of offensive acts in the restroom. Although only lasting a few dozen seconds, the clip has caused a wave of outrage in public opinion. Both the victim and the perpetrator are students, and the student who committed the violation has a complicated family situation; the student who was bullied is too shy to share with teachers or parents...
It can be seen that the family, which should be the safest place for children, can be the source of violence, abuse, and neglect when the family environment is unhealthy, parents lack knowledge and skills in raising children, or neglect their children due to frequent absences from home. Financial pressure and poverty can increase the level of stress in the family, leading to conflict and violence. In some cases, children are forced to work early, drop out of school, or are exploited.
In addition to family factors, social issues also play an important role in increasing the risk of violence, abuse, and child abuse. While safe and healthy areas and places for entertainment and community activities are limited, children are easily exposed to dangerous environments or bad people, and the lax supervision of parents, families, and the indifference of society is no different from "supporting" cases where the victims are children...
According to statistics, the whole province still has over 3,900 children in special circumstances (accounting for about 1% of the total number of children), nearly 30,000 children at risk of falling into special circumstances (accounting for about 8% of the total number of children).
Officers of the Department of Mothers and Children (National Hotline for Child Protection 111) provide advice on Children's Rights to disadvantaged students at the Launching Ceremony of the Month of Action for Children 2025.
In order to create the best conditions for child care, education and protection, in recent years, along with the whole country, the work of child protection, care and education has always received great attention from the entire political system and the people of the whole province, with the goal of building a safe, friendly and healthy living environment to increasingly better implement children's rights, gradually reducing the gap in living conditions between groups of children and children between regions. Improve the quality of life and create equal development opportunities for all children; reduce the risk of children falling into special circumstances, focus on protecting children from abuse, children in special circumstances are supported and cared for promptly to recover, integrate into the community and have the opportunity to develop.
With the strong participation of the whole society, the best conditions have been created for children to develop. This is reflected in a number of results such as: 100% of children in special circumstances are cared for and assisted in various forms; 100% of children under 6 years old are granted health insurance cards; 100% of 5-year-old children are provided with universal preschooleducation ; 99% of secondary school students go to school at the right age; over 98% of children of primary and secondary school age know traffic safety regulations and safety skills in the water environment; 100% of educational institutions have integrated child-related content such as life skills, cultural behavior, and positive communication into extracurricular educational activities; 100% of schools have clean water sources, over 95% of schools have standard toilets; 100% of residential areas have cultural houses, most of which have arranged many playgrounds for children and many sports facilities and playgrounds...
Speaking at the launching ceremony of the Month of Action for Children 2025 organized by the Ministry of Health and the People's Committee of Phu Tho province at the Provincial Maternity and Pediatrics Hospital, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Huy Ngoc affirmed: The Month of Action for Children is a meaningful annual event, a reminder of the responsibility of each family, each agency, organization and individual in cultivating the best conditions for future generations to create a safe, loving and compassionate living environment, which is the greatest gift we can give to children - the future buds of the country.
Phu Tho province pledges to continue to better organize activities in response to the Action Month, as well as the work of protecting, caring for and educating children in the coming time; prioritize resources to complete the goals and tasks for children set by the Ministry of Health and the province...
Children are like “buds on a branch”, needing to be cherished and cared for to grow strong. For those buds to sprout, grow up to the high sky, and become green trees useful to life, they need to be nurtured in a suitable environment. Just like children need to live in a safe, healthy environment, filled with love and care from family and society.
In addition, proper orientation will help children form good personalities, equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to confidently enter life. When given all conditions for comprehensive development, each child will become a useful citizen, contributing to the prosperous development of the country.
