Czech Ambassador to the Philippines Jana Šedivá said their tradition of conducting a working breakfast with human rights activists on UN Human Rights Day is an opportunity to provide a platform that allows collective discussion and collaborative actions, especially on children’s rights.
“The Embassy recognizes the importance of highlighting this issue especially that children are one of the vulnerable actors affected by the pandemic,” Šedivá said in a statement Wednesday.
