Address to the general assembly of the United Nations

Because of her outstanding contribution in the field of children's charity, in May 2013, Chen Qing received an invitation letter from Vuk Jeremic, President of the general assembly of the United Nations, who invited her to attend the UN Theme Conference on "social inequality" on July 8 and delivered a speech entitled "reducing inequality, starting with children".

"I come from Hong Kong. I am a mother of more than two years old. I am also the chairman of the Hong Kong Committee of UNICEF. I believe that in the happy families of all friends present here - and in countless families around the world, there is a generation or even a group of children who are regarded as more important than their own lives and embody the good hope of the whole family, dear children. In order to change the fate and make it better, parents work hard day and night for their children, starting with their children. So today, let's talk about children in the name of parents all over the world. "

Chen Qing at the UN General Assembly thematic debate

This is the first paragraph of Chen Qing's speech at the United Nations General Assembly. The speech is full of deep feelings, detailed data and profound insights. It not only moved the ambassadors, diplomats and special guests of 195 countries present on that day, but also spread to the world through various media, known as "the most touching appeal for children's rights".

Chen Qing delivered a 10 minute speech at the meeting, explaining the phenomenon and causes of global inequality with reference to children's living conditions and problems around the world. Taking the Syrian war as an example, she pointed out that many children were used as human shields, and so far more than 1700 children under the age of 10 were killed in the war. She also brought China's urgent need to solve the problem of left behind children to the United Nations. She said that it is estimated that there are nearly 100 million left behind children in China. Their parents work in other provinces, leaving a large number of children in their original places of residence, making them lack of medical security and learning opportunities, and finally falling into the vicious circle of continuing poverty and knowledge poverty. To this end, UNICEF assists mainland partners in setting up children's friendly homes, providing them with basic medical care, educational support and family education services.

"Every child is born equal. Gender, race, customs and health status should be only the elements of children's different lives. They should not be used as an excuse for children's unequal childhood." "If we turn a blind eye to the inequality and misfortune they face, we will only see thousands more children, with only resentment and despair in our eyes," she said. How can we disappoint them? "

Even though the inequality in Hong Kong is not serious compared with the above areas, Chen Qing said frankly that new immigrants and ethnic minority children are also neglected in our society, which deserves our attention. "Sometimes they don't get enough opportunities to develop their talents. Although Hong Kong is a relatively rich region, the gap between the rich and the poor also limits many children's access to equal learning opportunities. Unicefhk is working to solve this problem."

At the meeting, Chen Qing introduced to various countries a series of measures initiated or participated by unicefhk to enhance children's right to participate in Hong Kong. Through different channels, children and young people have the opportunity to express their demands to the society and the government and to express their views on social inequality. She said that since 2010, unicefhk has provided a voice platform for children and young people in Hong Kong through the production of voice of youth radio programs, and also participated in the government led and funded children's parliament to allow children's representatives to debate children related bills.

"I'm a mother and a part of UNICEF, and" join hands for children "is our motto.". Ms. Chen Qing made a profound appeal to leaders of all countries, "for our future and our children, reducing inequality should start with children."

The special meeting was personally presided over by the president of the general assembly of the United Nations, Mr. Vuk Jeremic, and attended by the Secretary General of the United Nations, Mr. Ban Ki Moon, and the executive director of UNICEF headquarters, Mr. Anthony Lake. After the speech, Chen Qing was specially received by Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and had a separate meeting with the president of the United Nations General Assembly, Mr. Vuk Jeremic, to introduce the protection of women's and children's rights and interests in Hong Kong, mainland China and the Asia Pacific region. He was very interested in the "Hong Kong Children's Council" and the construction of "children's friendly city" mentioned in the speech and expressed his disapproval of the practice of the Hong Kong SAR government He fully affirmed the mainland's efforts and achievements in this regard and expressed his willingness to support the "hundreds of millions of left behind children and migrant children in mainland China" mentioned in the speech.

Many American media, such as CNN and CNBC, have rushed to interview Chen Qing. The media in Hong Kong and the mainland have made great efforts to report on Chen Qing. Phoenix Satellite TV and China News Agency have specially sent reporters to follow up the whole process. The official websites of Xinhua news agency, all China Women's Federation, Sina, Sohu, Tencent, Netease and other mainstream websites and nearly 100 media have also participated Reprinted one after another.

"Some people regard the success of this UN speech as a demonstration of China's soft power. I am ashamed of it, so I politely declined to be interviewed by several American media. I hope the media will pay more attention to children's rights and interests rather than focus on me." Chen Qing said that in order to do charity, we must put ourselves at a low level, be indifferent and concentrate on it. Only in this way can we concentrate on it and achieve tangible results.
