Our EquiAccess team and our student advocates continued their media outreach to Adoa TV. Together they used the platform to speak clearly about childrenโs rights and how every one of us can help create a Ghana where all children, including those who are street-connected, are

choice and dignity are not privileges but rights.
What began with worry ended with understanding. What began with silence ended with confidence. And the smiles that followed were the kind that say, "You see me, and you value me."
