Child Rights

WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT

We understand that violence against children is deep-rooted problem in the society that demands purposeful intervention to ensure the wellbeing of children.

What we do:

We work to:

  • Address cultural practices, norms, attitudes and behaviour that discriminate children in school and at home and perpetuates child abuse.
  • Engage public institutions and CSOs to promote the rights of children and ensure progressive laws and policies as well as child rights promotion systems; services and responses are in place
  • Raise community awareness on the rights of children 
  • Establish or strengthen children clubs at schools to promote their rights and engage with children focused clubs (girls’ clubs, boys’ clubs and mothers’ clubs) and teachers towards advancing children’s rights
  • Institute child friendly violence reporting systems
  • Advocate for enactment/enforcement of progressive policies and laws that promote children rights using media and various means of communication in collaboration with like-minded organizations and monitor provision of services to victims of violence
  • Support creation and access of child friendly environment in schools and communities
  • Collaborate with child focussed organizations, networks, forums and coalitions for mutual learning and sharing as well as collective actions to promote the rights of children
