The Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen will discuss finding solutions to protect children from war-related threats, including abductions, indoctrination and militarization by Russians. First Lady of Ukraine Olena Zelenska told about this in an interview with We Are Ukraine, according to a correspondent of UNN.
Many countries have gone through or are currently going through similar experiences. For example, the war in the Balkans is still affecting the people of the Balkans. Everyone has different experiences. But globally, we have to recognize that international safeguards are not working, and we need to do something about it. We will talk about the threat to children's lives and health, as well as the abduction, indoctrination, and militarization of our children by Russians. And we will definitely look for solutions
The First Lady said that the second panel of the Summit would focus on family safety, including protection from physical and psychological violence, and the third panel would focus on safety in education. Zelenska noted that not only physical safety will be discussed, but also mental safety and protection from bullying.
They will also discuss the challenges caused by the war, including distance learning and the construction of bomb shelters for schools and kindergartens.
The fourth panel will focus on the safety of children in cyberspace, and a separate block will be devoted to environmental safety. One of the panels will be moderated by historian Anne Applebaum, and actor Michael Douglas, UN Peace Envoy, is also expected to speak.
