| Children’s health is a common task | ||
|
At Inspira, we have dared to gaze the surrounding reality through the view of two organizations which are especially sensitive to children’s vulnerability: UNICEF and the Bank of Food of Barcelona. Both show, from different perspectives, the hard situation we are living now, but with consequences that are much more complicated and lasting for boys and girls in our country. I was sad to read the conclusions of the UNICEF report, and I was shaken by Jordi Peix, talking with is sincerity and rotundity about all that delicate barriers that, in a way hard to perceive, are being broken, leaving boys and girls without a protection, especially those who live in big cities. It is difficult not to get demoralized, but there is no other option: not letting oneself be defeated by this perplexity that seems to have flooded everybody around and that only lets us perceive immediate things and prevents a different future to make its way through the avatars of such a hostile present. And that may be the reason why, now more than ever, children’s health should be considered a priority. By the administration and by the families. We use to say that children’s health is a common task. We think it should not be considered like an exclusive competence from doctors and peditricians. And please don’t misunderstand me: I am not saying that somebody who is not a doctor should act as if he or she was so. But health should by a state to which everybody should tend in a natural way from our lifestyle, our habits and our behavior. And this behavior, in most of the cases, doesn’t imply an expenditure, but a change in our mentality. But for the society to transit for the difficult path to change, it is necessary that all of us who say that are for children’s health never stop giving information, seriously and rigorously, of the importance of our actions in our children’s health and its consequences all along their lives. |

He states that ‘in Spain, especially in big cities where social inequalities are more stressed, we can find hunger’, and highlights that the ‘lack of food is a very serious phenomenon, that affects children especially because it has influence in their development, both physical and cultural, and in the social integration of citizens with their rights’ Read at the web |
