Dopo il rapporto di Amnesty International anche Save the Children Italia denuncia trattenimenti illegali nei Cpt (Centri di permanenza temporanea) e ripetute violazioni dei diritti dei minori stranieri che sbarcano sulle coste del nostro paese. Come confermato da testimonianze raccolte da operatori di Save the Children Italia risulta che minori stranieri, sia non accompagnati che accompagnati dai genitori, vengano trattenuti nei vari centri di detenzione esistenti in Italia anche per periodi prolungati e in strutture riservate ad adulti. Tale prassi rappresenta una grave violazione dei diritti dei minori ed è in contrasto con la Convenzione ONU sui Diritti dell’Infanzia e dell’Adolescenza e la legge italiana, in base alle quale i minori non accompagnati non possono in alcun caso essere trattenuti presso i centri di identificazione o di permanenza temporanea.

Sono 9 milioni i bambini in Africa orfani a causa dell’Aids: lo documenta il rapporto “Madri scomparse” diffuso ieri da Save the Children. Il dossier sottolinea inoltre il dramma di milioni di bambini nel mondo costretti ad assistere le proprie madri malate. Save the Children stima in 19 milioni le donne, nel mondo, colpite dal virus dell’Hiv e dell’Aids. Almeno il 90% sono mamme, la maggior parte di esse non ha adeguate cure mediche. "E’ tempo che i donatori, in particolare le nazioni del G8, il Fondo Globale per la lotta all’Aids, Tbc e Malaria, la Banca Mondiale e la Commissione Europea, si diano da fare stanziando le risorse necessarie a sostenere quei bambini la cui infanzia è negata dall’Hiv e dall’Aids" - chiede Save the Children. Fino ad oggi, tutte le indagini sui bisogni dei bambini si sono concentrate su ciò che accade dopo la morte dei loro genitori. Tuttavia, per fare veramente la differenza, è cruciale aiutare i bambini che convivono con un familiare ammalato oltre a quei minori resi orfani dall’Aids.
