Children’s rights must be protected at all levels, in particular, in the mass media

On 12 January the “Holos Ukraiiny” (“Voice of Ukraine”) published the Recommendations to the mass media on respecting children’s rights, approved by the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Freedom of Speech and Information Policy on 23 December 2015. This document represents the output of the discussions held by a wide community related to the matter of children’s participation in programmes, publicising information about underage children that can impair their moral and physical health and further life.
