Georgette Mulheir: What Are The Rights Of Children?

Georgette Mulheir has been a successful global expert who has helped transform care and protect children. Children are gifts, and they are not born to suffer. But that’s not the case; these children have continued to suffer -especially those living in orphanage institutions. Over three decades, Georgette Mulheir has worked in 33 nations, where she has advised major donors, governments, and the international community regarding transformation care. Through her work, Georgette Mulheir led various programs that have directly saved over 15,000 children, but hundreds of thousands have benefited. During her work, she created a global movement, and it has helped to recognize the severe harm that millions of children living in orphanages experience every day. So, the campaign has compiled the international decision-makers and governments to take action and end the institutionalization of children. Moreover, she has trained over 50,000 politicians and professionals from different countries on transformation care.

It came a time, and Georgette Mulheir and her team thought that these institutions should be closed. This is after the recent horrendous news of evil things happening in these institutions. One of the awful news was the moment it was reported that in many institutions across the world, children are starving. This was after the Belarus report hit the media. Other bad news includes the 40 girls who lost their lives after a fire outbreak in their orphanage institution in Guatemala. In India, there is an orphanage where children have to scavenge for food and clean septic tanks. These are bad news because young children should be provided with basic needs – food, shelter, and clothing. But the problem is, why should children across the world continue to suffer while living in orphanages? It would be a different case when they live with their families. So, the remaining option is to look for a solution. Georgette Mulheir and her partners plan to support the transformation of care systems in various countries. It means the children will receive the needed support that enables them to stay together with relatives and in their communities. That would help them avoid living in these uncaring institutions that call themselves orphanages.
