MMM recommendations include:
Nurturing care for optimal Early Childhood Development is first a question of child rights But it is also about social transformation and building more peaceful societies.
MMM brought these challenges and recommendation to the attention of the Human Rights Council in a more detailed fashion through a written Statement ahead of the 38th Session, which took place from 18 June to 6 July 2018 at the Palais des Nations in Geneva.
With this Statement, MMM also made the link with the Nurturing Care Framework which was launched during the World Health Assembly in may 2018.
