Each year, the month of May provides an opportunity to reflect on the issues that impact our nation’s children. For this Child Month, young people across the country have suggested the issues that they believe should be prioritised. Many propose reforms to improve mental health services for children and their caregivers. Some recommend interventions to support children with special needs. While for others, promoting human capital development from early remains a pressing matter. Supporting the implementation of these measures are essential to build a society where children have the chance to pursue self-fulfillment in an environment that is safe, happy and free.
