France's High Commissioner for children, Sarah El-Hairy, is addressing the increasing trend of tourist sites adopting adult-only policies, raising concerns about the exclusion of children. While less than 3% of tourism representatives support 'no kids' policies, El-Hairy finds the trend alarming, as it prioritizes adults' comfort over children's needs. The issue has sparked calls for governmental action to penalize establishments promoting child-free spaces. Advocates argue that children should be included in society, not pushed aside, stressing their importance as members of the community.
I'm quite frightened, and I weigh my words carefully, of the development of movements, of no kids' spaces, where children are no longer welcome, where children are pushed out of sight, even banned.
This phenomenon privileges the comfort of adults, to the detriment of the inclusion and well-being of the youngest.
We can't accept that some people decide they no longer want to put up with this or that part of the population, in this case children.
Children are not a nuisance.
