"Madam President, the Commission has already acknowledged that austerity has increased inequalities, social injustice and poverty in Europe. Children are among the most impacted and remain the group at the highest risk of poverty and social exclusion. We need, therefore, to have decisive political action so as not to exclude a great part of the next generation.
As a member of the Intergroup on Children’s Rights, I am proud that my political group is pushing hard for the creation of a child guarantee, in line with the Investing in Children Recommendations, ensuring that every child in Europe at risk of poverty – including refugees – has access to free healthcare, free education, free childcare, decent housing and adequate nutrition.
Children must also play a role in decision—making that concerns them, and the Children’s Commission on Poverty in the UK involves young people investigating peer poverty and making concrete policy recommendations at all levels. The NUJ and the Church Action on Poverty have also worked with young people to produce excellent guidelines, which will end the demonisation of the poor by the right—wing media."@en1
