The rights of children, and youths, must be taken seriously in all forms. We have seen instances where children are forced into child labour in different forms, we have seen how our children are forced into early marriage. The consequences from these situations does not end on just a child or a family. It affects all directly and indirectly.

We can help our children develop properly when we create engaging activities at home, listen to them when they raise concerns or issues bothering them. Schools must create an encouraging environment for children and teachers must serve as role models and advocates for the rights of children.

The future leaders of tomorrow need our support and attention today. You can make a pledge to help children, assist them in various ways to become empowered with the right VOICE that they may be active participants in the better world we want to see.
