I made a statement at the two sessions| build a child-friendly community, and more child-oriented services may wish to be "listed separately"

In January 2021, the Shanghai Municipal Working Committee for Women and Children announced the first batch of child-friendly community demonstration sites in Shanghai, and 84 streets and towns (industrial zones) in 16 districts of the city won the title of "Shanghai Child-friendly Community Demonstration Sites". A year later, in the view of Wu Ruijun, a member of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and assistant to the president of East China Normal University, there are still some problems and deficiencies in the promotion of child-friendly services.

For example, the current child friend platform in the construction of child-friendly communities still lacks a perfect system, the scope is limited to the community, the social resources outside the community are insufficiently gathered and utilized, and the integration of social resources and the pluralism of social participation are lacking. Children's community participation is still basically at the level of recommendations, and there are still deficiencies in the transformation from children's recommendations to children's decisions and actions.

Therefore, at this year's two sessions, Wu Ruijun suggested that multiple measures should be taken to ensure the development of child-friendly communities. In Wu Ruijun's view, it is necessary to awaken children's awareness of self-rights, and the awakening of children's own awareness of rights directly affects the realization of rights. In order to ensure the realization of children's rights, it is necessary to bring the "child-friendly concept" into the school, optimize the school children's rights curriculum strategy, and basic education, as an important area for the implementation and development of the "child-friendly concept" and children's rights, should become the core of children's rights in schools.

Wu Ruijun believes that adhering to the overall promotion of the department is the key to ensuring the development of child-friendly communities. At present, the leading units for the construction of child-friendly communities are mainly the Women's Federation, the Civil Affairs Bureau, the Youth League Committee and other departments, and the coordinated participation and functional linkage of the Cultural and Tourism Bureau, the Education Bureau, the Construction and Communications Commission, the Planning and Land Bureau and other departments should be introduced. She proposed, "Increase the linkage of tourism bureaus in the lead unit, because the public space in Shanghai is small, most of the children's centers should be shared with the old and community cultural centers, and the community cultural centers occupy most of the public space resources, and Shanghai's citizen service system is relatively sound, so children's services should be specially listed in the citizen cultural services." "At the same time, we can increase the linkage of education bureaus to build an education system for children's rights in school education, so that children know their rights." In urban spatial planning, it is necessary to start from the perspective of children, organically integrate the concept of "child-friendliness", and make more consideration for the transformation and renewal of children and community family life in physical space from multiple dimensions in urban renewal. Add child-friendly elements to the design of transportation facilities, optimize children's travel environment, etc.

In terms of funding guarantees, Wu Ruijun suggested that in the use of existing special funds, special funds for child-friendliness should be divided, and at the same time, "hematopoiesis" should be strengthened, and social third-party resources should be actively introduced in the public construction and private model, and government supervision and social linkage and coordination should be integrated to ensure the standardized operation of the community's children's public service system.
