Thursday, 24 April 2025
The Municipal Child Protection Program for 2025, proposed by Mayor Pencho Milkov, was adopted at today's meeting of the Municipal Council of Ruse. The document was developed by the local administration and adopted by the Children's Commission of the Municipality of Ruse, and is aimed at the comprehensive protection of the rights, interests and well-being of children on the territory of the municipality.
The program outlines the strategic goal for effective protection of children, especially those from vulnerable groups, and includes specific activities in seven main priorities:
- quality education and care in early childhood;
- access to healthcare and a healthy lifestyle;
- protection from violence, drugs and exploitation;
- justice, tailored to the interests of children;
- reduction of child poverty and social exclusion;
- leisure activities – sports, culture, art;
- promoting children's and youth participation
A number of measures are planned - improving the material and technical base in childcare and educational institutions, developing social and health services, joint preventive campaigns with institutions and NGOs, ensuring inclusive education and support for children at risk. Particular attention is paid to activities related to digitalization and innovations in education, as well as the integration of children who have returned from abroad.
The program is based on national and international strategic documents, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Child Guarantee, and is tailored to the real socio-economic conditions in Ruse.
The Municipality of Ruse will monitor the implementation through the Children's Commission and the Child Protection Department of the Social Assistance Directorate. The program is an open document and is subject to update in the event of changes in the circumstances and needs of the local community.
