Tanzanian Children’s Rights Advocacy

Although Tanzania signed the African Charter for the Rights of the Child in 2004, little progress has been made other than lip service paid to the health care and educational needs of Tanzanian children. Presently, caning is an accepted punishment in schoolrooms across the country, and children are expected to be working members of the family without the right to an opinion. Recent movement in advocacy circles that aim to support not only the rights to health and education, but also the child’s right to dignity and emotional support, have begun to reach those in positions of authority.

The Pamoja Project has joined this grassroots movement in the knowledge that an educated and self-respecting child can lead his family and his country into a prosperous future. T shirts we made for such a gathering read: WATOTO WANAHAKI YA KUSIKILIZWA- Children have the right to be heard. We will continue to report on this effort as it develops.
