As part of ongoing efforts to promote and protect the rights of children with disabilities, the HCMC Child Welfare Association organized this workshop to share information, enhance awareness, and discuss solutions to improve children’s access to government policies and support services.
During the workshop, experts, social workers, and representatives from relevant agencies and organizations discussed the current situation regarding children’s access to policies, and proposed a number of recommendations aimed at strengthening access to services in education, healthcare, social protection, and community inclusion.
This activity forms part of broader efforts to ensure that children with disabilities are protected, able to access their fundamental rights, and provided with opportunities for comprehensive development in an inclusive environment where no child is left behind. Strengthening coordination among government agencies, social organizations, and the community is considered an important factor in ensuring that policies for children with disabilities are effectively implemented.
Through activities that facilitate connection, information sharing, and capacity building, the HCMC Child Welfare Association aims to contribute to the development of a more inclusive society, where every child, regardless of circumstances or abilities, is respected, supported, and provided with opportunities to develop.
