Why advocate for children's play policies?
① Affordable childcare
With increasing focus on childcare policies, providing quality play spaces for children aged 0-18 is crucial.
② Reimagining the 'Digital Generation Childhood'
Amidst busy modern life, children's playmates are often limited to screens. Beyond play spaces, we need measures to ensure kids have ample space and time for play.
③ Play as a Fundamental Right
Whether in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child or extensive child development research, the right to play is highlighted as crucial, akin to the right to survival, demanding protection and implementation.
PPFCC’s Advocacy
Government must actively protect children's play rights,
not just regulate play area safety.
Taiwan's child play regulations focus on safety, overlooking the need for inclusive play experiences and child-friendly public spaces. We urge the government to actively champion 'Children's Play Rights,' aligning with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and implementing comprehensive policies at all levels.
