Every child has the right to grow up free from violence, abuse, and fear.
Last month, the children at our Centre of Hope in Tanzania took part in a special awareness session led by a Police Officer from the Gender and Children’s Desk. The session focused on child protection and helping children understand the different forms of violence they may encounter, including physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, and neglect.
The children were encouraged to speak up if they ever experience or witness abuse and were reminded that there are trusted adults and organisations ready to help and protect them. They also learned about their rights to safety, education, healthcare, and a life free from violence.
For many vulnerable children, knowledge is protection. By equipping them with awareness and confidence, we are helping them recognise danger, find their voice, and understand their worth.
❤️ Protection is not just about responding to abuse, it’s about empowering children with the knowledge to stay safe and know that they matter.
