This work seeks to fan the flames that burned so brilliantly at the end of the 1980s, when world leaders adopted the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989 and then confirmed their commitments for children and adolescents at the 1990 World Summit for Children. It is a call to leaders in industrialized and developing countries alike to reaffirm their promises for children. It is a call for vision and leadership within families and communities, where respect for the rights of children and women is first born and nurtured and where the protection of those rights begins. And it is a call to all people to realise a new dream within a single generation: a shared vision of children and women - indeed of humankind - freed from poverty and discrimination, freed from violence and disease.
