The Rubí City Council has formalized with UNICEF the ratification of the agreement recognizing the city as a Child-Friendly City for the period 2026-2029. This renewal continues the municipal commitment to the defense and promotion of the rights of children and adolescents.
The new agreement, effective from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2029, emphasizes the monitoring and evaluation of childhood policies, child and adolescent participation, and transversal work within the municipal organization.
Among the commitments made are the continued development of the Local Plan for Children and Adolescents, ensuring necessary resources for the execution of measures, training municipal staff in children's rights, and incorporating the principles of non-discrimination and equity. Special attention will be given to children and families in situations of vulnerability or risk of social exclusion.
“"Renewing the recognition as a Child-Friendly City means renewing our commitment to the children and adolescents of Rubí. We want them to be heard, to participate, and for their rights to be present in all public policies. This new phase until 2029 allows us to continue moving forward, consolidate the work done, and, above all, keep improving based on the evaluation of results."
One of the key pillars of the renewal is strengthening active, meaningful, and inclusive child participation. The City Council commits to maintaining spaces for children and adolescents to formulate proposals and to promote the functioning of the municipal child participation body. The perspective of the council will also be incorporated transversally throughout the municipal organization.
