After years of non-stop campaigning by concern groups, the government has officially set up a Children's Commission to safeguard the rights, interests, and well-being of children.
The new body will officially start work on Friday, and will be headed by Chief Secretary Matthew Cheung.
The commission pools together the efforts of various government bureaus and departments, along with child concern groups.
It will have a wide scope, suggesting and implementing policies on education, promoting "healthy development", looking after the needs of ethnic minority children, and combating violence and child neglect.
There body will have 21 non-official members.
