Labour insists Malta still needs ‘a single law which focuses on children’s rights’

However, in a statement issued this morning, Caruana insisted that it was “not enough to have laws spread in different acts without having a single law which is focused on children as the Child Law”.

She explained how Malta needed “a legal structure that really guarantees and safeguards children’s rights.  Something which we are still very far away from since children in our country still suffer from lack of accessibility to legal structures,” the Labour MP charged.

Given due to the fact that children were vulnerable and therefore they must give them every support possible to ensure the observance of their rights, “Government should immediately address these concerns in a concrete manner,” Caruana insisted.

“Rights on paper only are not going to solve the problems of our children,” she concluded.
