Parenting Child Care Rwanda – a local Charity organization, on Thursday, June 20, took focus on educating citizens and parents on child rights.
The exercise kicked off with parents, children and other activists convening in Jali sector, Gasabo district in the capital Kigali to discuss and forge ways to promote safety and rights of children. During the event, children were given space to express themselves. They cautioned parents against abuse of child rights such as engaging them in child labour, lack of access to education, balanced diet, among others. During the event, parents were also reminded of their role in promoting the rights of children, protecting teenagers from early pregnancies, which has become national concern.
Thousands of teenagers have been reported with unwanted pregnancies across the country. The collective message for this years’ African Child Day is fighting child abuse in our communities as we all aspire to have excellent future citizens. Child care starts at the time the mother conceive pregnancy by eating good meals to have a healthy baby upon giving birth.
