CHILDREN'S MONTH

 Children's Month 



In the Philippines, October is designated as National Children's Month. As mandated by Presidential Proclamation 267, now is the moment to acknowledge Filipino children as the most precious resources within the community. Across the Philippines, government and non-government organizations observe the month-long festival, which also serves as a campaign to improve children's physical, emotional, moral, spiritual, and intellectual well-being and to put an end to violence against them.


According to UNICEF, every year millions of children around the world become victims of untold violence. Children in every country, every culture and at every social level face various forms of abuse, neglect, exploitation and violence. The abuse takes place at home, in school, in institutions, at work, in the community, in armed conflict and natural disasters. Much violence against children, such as corporal punishment and sexual abuse, remains legal and socially approved in many countries. The violence children face takes many forms, such as exploitation and abuse, trafficking, physical and humiliating punishment, harmful traditional practices (including early marriage and genital mutilation/cutting) and recruitment into armed forces and groups. Growing up with violence and abuse seriously affects a child’s development, dignity, and physical and psychological integrity.


Stairway celebrated National Children's Month by offering the kids a ton of entertaining and motivational events. A fantastic awards ceremony honoring the children's talents and accomplishments on a personal level marked the end of the month.
