Imagine the many challenges African children face, from FGM, defilement, assault, exploitation, child labour, teen pregnancy, lack of WASH products and more.
Each violation is a reminder to ask ourselves: What is my role in addressing these problems?
As parents, teachers, and the community at large, we must reflect on the rights, welfare, and dignity of children.
We must find ways to protect them, strengthen their voices, and improve educational outcomes.
The Day of the African Child is approaching, a day to honour the brave students of the Soweto Uprising.
Let us mark it not only in remembrance, but by raising awareness, amplifying voices, and committing to action that safeguards every child’s future.
