Let's listen to children and support their rights

Consider this. In 2016 alone, one billion children around the world experienced physical, sexual or psychological violence. And globally, 240 million children live in countries affected by conflict.

Thirty years ago, the world united in support of childhood. People around the world hoped for better lives and more rights for their children. When world leaders came together in 1989 to adopt the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), there was a real sense of hope for the next generation. In 1990, Kenya became one of the first African countries to ratify the CRC.
