Dachaighean cùraim ann am Bulgàiria

Dachaighean cùraim ann am Bulgàiria

Chan eil ach beagan bhliadhnachan bho bha mu 12,000 duine cloinne ann an dachaighean cùram ann am Bulgàiria, tè dha na h-ìrean às àrda, a rèir àireamh sluaigh, san Roinn ò貹. Suarach cho math 's a bha beatha cuid dhiubh. Ann an 2007 dh’adhbhraich am prògram “Bulgaria’s Abandoned Children”, a chaidh a chraoladh air a’ BhBC, sgainneal mòr mu fhìor dhroch chùram ann an aon dachaigh gu sònraichte. An dèidh sin roghnaich an riaghaltas na dachaighean cloinne mòra uile a dhùnadh ro 2025. Chaidh ò貹 a Bhulgàiria a dh’fhaicinn an ìre aig a bheil am pròiseas sin.

Children’s care institutions in Bulgaria

Just a few years ago over 12,500 children in Bulgaria were in institutional care, one of the highest rates in Europe. Life for many was miserable. The programme “Bulgaria’s Abandoned Children”, broadcast by the 91ȱ in 2007, uncovered appalling care in one institution in particular. The outcry that followed prompted the government to change its approach to childcare. It aims to shut all children’s institutions before 2025. ò貹 went to Bulgaria to see what progress has been made.
