Children’s Right to Safety

Lynn Joseph — Thu, 31 Aug 2017 10:07:39 +0000

It’s been two weeks since we had DOD GIRLS CLUB in Skepe Plein. Due to ongoing violence in Factreton and Kensington. Yesterday we decided to make a declaration of our right to Safety. We spent a few minutes of our session in the same park where gansterism and gun violence has violated our right to safety. Playing and making it clear that it’s our right to Safe Spaces.

This week we focused on 1 our RIGHTS as children.

Protection: Children have the right to protection from abuse, neglect, exploitation and discrimination. This includes the right to safe places for children to play; constructive child rearing behavior, and acknowledgment of the evolving capacities of children.

We have a responsibility to every child, regardless who the parents are. We need to ensure the saftety of our children, community members take your place of responsibility. Let us take hands and create safe spaces for our children and community.

Woman who are you?

Factreton Primary Club had their Presentation day on Tuesday, 8 August 2017. Nervous and excited girls passing the venue, was evident hours before the presentation started. Evaluations was done by amazing partners, The Women’s Communicare Network, Rochelle Rix and Sgt. A Grill, Communications and Social Crime officer at Kensington Saps.

Emotions all the more as the atmosphere was pumped with pride after each girl said “thank you” and stepped down. The ladies evaluating was asked to comment on the presentations and encourage the girls. Little did we expect silence to fill the room as a strong women stepped to the front and could not say a word. Tears filled the eyes of every girl as they witnessed a Police women shed tears of joy as she witnessed the girls presenting. ” I work in the community everyday and I see children being used to sell drugs and their young lives taken away. Today, all I saw was hope, you are seeds and the ground you are choosing to be planted in is good ground…” Thanking and encouraging the girls.

Thank you Mr McAvoy and staff for welcoming Daughters of Destiny to your beautiful family.
