Let’s stand up for children’s rights

The level at which Kenyan children are exposed to rights abuses is astounding. While there have been meaningful efforts to protect child rights, the government’s failure to follow through these initiatives — at legislative or policy levels ­— leaves a lot to be desired.

In the 21st Century, it’s troubling that child labour still exists. Despite the rollout of free education, many children are out of school and are suffering at the hands of the very people supposed to protect them.
