Publication date: February 16, 2022

For the past three weeks, organized protests concerning COVID-19 public health mandates have occurred at various locations across the country. Children have been present at some of these protests, and many more have been affected by them. We call on all parties to ensure that the rights and safety of children are given paramount importance.
