KHULUMA noHECTOR | TALK TO HECTOR 🇿🇦
On 16 June 1976, thousands of young people took to the streets to demand something many of us take for granted today: the right to quality education, dignity, and a future filled with opportunity. Many paid the ultimate price⚰️🕯️
Today, South Africa's Constitution protects children's rights through:
📖 Section 29 – the right to basic education.
🛡️ Section 28 – the right to protection from abuse, neglect, exploitation, and the right to have their best interests put first.
Yet many children still face violence, abuse, educational barriers, bullying, poverty, and other challenges that prevent them from reaching their full potential😥
At Incema NPO, we work every day to create safer spaces for children through awareness programs, behavioural programs, sexual and reproductive health education, gender-based violence prevention initiatives, and support services for vulnerable children and families👬🏾👩🏾🤝👨🏽👭🏽
As we commemorate Youth Day 2026, we want to hear from you:
💭 If Hector Pieterson and the youth of 1976 were standing in front of you today, what would you tell them about South Africa's progress?
💭 What would you thank them for?
💭 What would you ask them to keep fighting for?
