International Missing Children’s Day Highlights Child Safety and Global Solidarity

International Missing Children’s Day Highlights Child Safety and Global Solidarity
————————————————-
May 25, marked as International Missing Children’s Day, serves as an opportunity to renew attention to child safety, support families waiting for their missing loved ones, and strengthen international efforts to find missing children.

The day reminds societies of the need to prevent social harms and reinforce protection systems for children.

In the teachings of the Holy Quran, preserving human life holds a highly elevated status, and saving one life is described as saving all of humanity. The Quran also emphasizes social responsibility toward those who are vulnerable and the importance of helping people in need.

These teachings make special attention to children’s safety essential, as children are among the most vulnerable groups in society.

In the narrations of Ahlulbayt, peace be upon them, great emphasis is placed on kindness, support for children, and preventing any form of injustice or harm against them. Caring for future generations is presented as both a human and religious duty.

International Missing Children’s Day is a reminder that protecting children is not the responsibility of one institution alone. It is a shared duty of families, governments, and the global community to work together, raise awareness, and prevent such tragedies from recurring.
