We teamed up Bloom Early Childhood Centre of Excellence, @UWIOpenCampus + Rachel Moss to create “I Can’t Go to School but I Can Do Lots of Things” to help children understand why they are learning from home + support them as they adjust. Read book here: https://t.co/ZbeG1W3Rdv.

Keino, age 10: Our fear is based on the 💔 reality that:

Many of us are being bullied.
Many of us are being beaten.
Many of us are being sexually and emotionally abused.
And we are are being murdered.

This violence started in the days of slavery. And to this day, it continues.

Tafari, age 7, to Parliament: "We (children) live in fear that we will be the next victims of violence."

"We are very alarmed by the rate at which children are being murdered. In 2018, 46 children were killed. From the start of 2019 to the 14th of November, 41 were murdered. This is beyond tragic." #ENDviolence https://t.co/JEYBZrJyNP
