  • From UNICEF’s Children’s Version/TLDR the Convention on the Rights of the Child:

    1. Best interests of the child

    When adults make decisions, they should think about how their decisions will affect children. All adults should do what is best for children. Governments should make sure children are protected and looked after by their parents, or by other people when this is needed. Governments should make sure that people and places responsible for looking after children are doing a good job.

    1. Family guidance as children develop

    Governments should let families and communities guide their children so that, as they grow up, they learn to use their rights in the best way. The more children grow, the less guidance they will need.

    (emphasis mine)

    1. Protection from violence

    Governments must protect children from violence, abuse and being neglected by anyone who looks after them.

    This, plus all the rights that state that the default should be children being raised by their families, means what you are saying is literal international law everywhere except the US (though it’s a application is still… frankly non existent in most of the world)




  • France, UK, and Germany have the biggest communities (100k plus). Of this France has the biggest (440k and 2.8% of the population), but at least my perception is that it’s also the unsafest country in western Europe for Jewish people right now - I would advice you to reach out to Jewish organisations in Europe to get an accurate picture on this point.

    Hungary comes next, but I wouldn’t recommend the country to anyone that self defines as liberal or progressive.

    I think Netherlands and Belgium also have relatively big communities in the big cities.

    I think all European countries have synagogue, but some have pretty small communities.
