In a compelling demonstration of unity, delegates from the Government of Botswana, joined by 16 children advocates, assembled around the glow of candlelight as they observed a shared moment of silence, symbolizing their collective dedication to the well-being & rights of children
These varied initiatives unite to form a world in which the rights of each child are ensured, and their safety is of the utmost importance. These endeavors should not only be classified as 'efforts' but should also exemplify 'Quality Services.'
Panel Discussion by Partnersโ UNICEF Botswana, Child Helpline International Terre Des Hommes Germany, Africa Early Childhood Network, Special Representative of the secretary General on violence:
Topic- Promoting Children's Rights and Safety.
Helplines and Support Services: "Establishing helplines and support services is crucial. Every child should have a confidential avenue to report abuse, seek assistance, and obtain support. Together, let's ensure their voices are heard and needs are met."
He shed light on the prevailing societal sidelining of these children, asserting the urgency of protecting their voices, minds, and bodies to ensure their rightful place within the fabric of society.
Mr. Lefhoko Kesamang, representing the African Union, addressed the imperative of putting an end to child marriages & eradicating genital mutilation within our continent.
In a poignant reflection, Mr. Kesamang emphasized that discussions about children must acknowledge the stark reality that children with disabilities face exploitation, both of themselves and their rights.
