In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful.
My name is Nagat Alkanjan.
Nagat Amdadam Alkanjan.
I am very happy.
To be on this stage,
to talk to these brilliant minds.
The topic is about BC complication
Let the flowers grow.
It won’t be impossible,
whether it is now or in the future.
for our children، our own flesh and blood، to grow
in front of our eyes and in the right direction.
In fact, I want to start my speech with a story
back in the day, It was said that the ancient Chinese,
planned to build the Great Wall of China,
which is well-known in the myths,
as you all know,
They wanted to build that wall to prevent enemies of invading them.
Really, they’ve built the Great Wall of China.
But in the first century,
They were shelled 3 times.
The enemies
didn’t break down or climb the Wall
They came in from the door, because they used to bribe the guards
as Chinese were busy in building the Great Wall
They forgot to fix the guards.
Improving human’s principles is the first. That what they aimed to
There is a massive statistics about the children and their circumstances.
Do you know that there are 300 million child
involves to the armed conflicts?
and there are 250 million child who works
180 million of them works in hard labor?
Do you know that 40 million child are deprived from their freedom
due to breaking the Law?
Do you know that 100 million child have been traded every year?
and a million child live a hard life.
neglecting and racism
Between 100 to 130 million of African girl
whom their genitals were amputated and distorted
imagine this terrified violence.
Actually,
I’m sure these statistics have touched something in your souls
as well as your countries, because we are brothers and sisters.
There are some families who have a homeless child,
a child without his parents care,
a child who has an issue with the law,
a delinquent child, or one who is prone to crimes.
Why all this concern about children?
And who does raise the children up?
Family is the one who looks after the children
The responsibility is up on the family to take care of children.
At a specific period, the child’s personality, emotions and desires compose
and the family also plays an important role
to bring out a good leader to the society and to the world
So brothers, the family, plays a very important role
Which family could upbring children well?
It’s the educated, cultivated and mindful family,
Which does its role perfectly.
An orientalist once said:” If you want to demolish a nation
you have to demolish the family،
the education, the role models and the references
To demolish the family, you have to hit the mother.
Let her be shameful of her duty of being a housekeeper.
To destroy the education, you have to hit the teacher.
Do not respect or evaluate his job, as well as the students should do.
If you want to vanish the masterminds, you’ve to calumniate the scientists.
If the good mother does not present,
Definitely, the family would disintegrate.
And if there’s not a good teacher, thus the education falls down
We say “Arise to the teacher and reverence him
the teacher could almost be a messenger.”
If the masterminds and the role models vanish,
Who is going to establish the generation?
I have a question here, brothers.
If the family,
has a good culture and traditions,
we can follow them since a long time ago.
But, my question is
Do you think if the family follow its traditions and culture,
which mistreat, neglect and discriminate the kids
deserves to raise a baby?
Definitely, No
Oh brothers, we have traditions that harm them very much.
And this consist one of the late challenges
That the family can’t fix its children’s problems
The child, you know, it not one child, it is a specific age group.
The global agreements،treaties and covenants have talked
about who is the child?
Who is less than eighteen years considers a child.
Even Sudan has signed to those agreements.
So consequently, I am taking
about less than eighteen years old group
Oh brothers, The child wants only love and kindness.
since childhood until youth.
He wants his parents’ attention when he speaks,
Not to be ignored.
This ignore affects him negatively, by following one of the family’s traditions
that, when a child expresses his opinion, he is shut up by the elders.
and force him to go away and play with the kids.
His opinion could be the right one, rather than edlers’
Which makes the child defeatist and introvert,
Also, it could make him refuge to strangers, who is listening to him.
There is a mother rule, that if her child went into streets,
he probably would meet a bad person
and friends whether in streets or school. So it is necessary to look after the child
by his parents and family.
We are raising an aware and significant generation
Who is knowledgeable and sensible.
But if we don’t treat them well, since their childhood,
they could not accept your advices when they are elder.
Then, it would be too late.
But if your relationship with the child is well,
thus the response will take a place later.
The challenges are many
The revolution of informationt, technology
and globalization.
The globalization has positive and negative factors
All of us here, in this hall
have clever phones and screens.
It show off the world with all of its tech, complications
and culture.
But we don’t know the consequence
of giving the child these devices
All the parents have
have to balance the use of them by the child
Because there is a huge gap
social scientists said ,there is a huge informational gap, through social classes
A gap in the age.
Differences in age, gender, place,
living level and educational level.
Whether at a urban or a city.
The small or big ones. They’ve to spend time in learning instead of doing nothing
Some information could upside your thoughts and life.
It’s said that, child grows up after 18
he grows emotionally and mentally. He becomes responsible.
So, families have to be aware completely about
education role.
If the woman is literated
She can guide a nation.
One of the inherent traditions
is the early marriage, or underage marriage
Because the illiterated girl
is separated from her friends, from education and can’t raise a family.
Beside so many problems.
occur in society
One of the challenges
is the child in a separated family.
The child whom his parents are separated
There are many needs such as eating, drinking,
studying, and many things.
When one of the parents gets out from home
How will the child be?
He’ll go into streets, become a homeless, or enter jail.
According to the present statics,
There is a violence treatment toward kids. This is one of the raised issues.
The family, school, and street violence.
Due to this violence,
a child could lose himself
and lose his family, to find a better family.
Why does it happen?
Because he sees another child lives a better life
with their families in love, kindness and integration.
He may look for another family, because human always wants the better
To solve this problem, families have to take care of their roles
in education and awareness.
The responsible authorities have to
take care of upbringing a child until he is ready for life,
and able to be trusted. This won’t happen unless through
Dialog and discussion sessions about children circumstance.
And about family issues to solve the problems.
Perhaps, one of the biggest problems is the poor.
the unbearable economic problems.
It could split an integrated family
A family that used to live with love and harmony
Another problem is the father or the man.
who is continuously violent towards his kids.
Because he wants to have his own time with his friends beside other things.
So in return, the father becomes so violent to fulfill those desires
So, kids escape looking for another shelter.
Brothers
By the end of my speech, in front of young men and women.
Our attention is toward the young men and women.
To be educated, cultured, and comprehended.
Every girl and boy can be a messenger for their family, and can protect his/her
lettel brothers, and even his/her kids.
Thank you very much.
