The visit is part of the ongoing preparations for the national meeting organized to mark World Children's Day, which will be held under the compelling theme: "Child Rights are an Indivisible Part of Human Rights." This initiative highlights the nation's focus on integrating child protection into broader human rights frameworks.
Adding to these significant efforts, the delegation also oversaw the launch of a crucial mental health caravan. This caravan is specifically designed for the early diagnosis of children on the autism spectrum and those with mild intellectual disabilities, demonstrating a proactive approach to supporting vulnerable children and ensuring their developmental needs are met across Algeria.
