I have this particular situation below, where I would like to avoid
position (1) and rather get automatically into the position (2), where
text after ❰ ❱ shall be automatically aligned in the second line to
the begin of first word in the first line.
Position 1:
❰ ❱ Next step is to report the school and abuses of children'
rights to Ministry of Education.
Position 2:
❰ ❱ Next step is to report the school and abuses of children'
rights to Ministry of Education.
I see that TAB works, the text moves to first line, though is there
any way in Emacs to automatically invoke such alignment?

If you align the second row manually rows after that are
aligned with `fill-paragraph'.

Would Auto Fill mode be suitable?

Thanks, I do use auto-fill-mode and I see I have to keep pushing TAB
in second line until it starts aligning itself automatically.

What major mode are you using?

Just fundamental I guess.

Then try something like `text-mode`, maybe try playing with
`paragraph-indent-minor-mode`, or `adaptive-fill-mode`.
You may also want to check the various `adaptive-fill-prefix` variables.
Oh, and GNU ELPA has `filladapt-mode` which could also be a way to
a solution.

It looks to me like you want a list of check boxes? If so, Org Mode
will do this, and along with ~adaptive-wrap-prefix-mode~, will also soft
wrap the left side automatically.
Which reminds me, you did not specify if you wanted a 'hard' (inserting
actual spaces/tabs) or 'soft' (display only) wrapping. Most of other
solutions mentioned will give you the former. But maybe that's what you
want?

I still did not find specific solution for this.
I would like spaces in new lines to align to first word after ❰ ❱
What I need is similar to following condition:
Somewhat indented text RET
in the next line follows
aligned to the first word
❰ ❱ Then in this line I would like that ❰ ❱
is ignored so that next line get aligned
to the first word in this paragraph "Then".
