Empowering Voices: Children air their views during the African Union Gender Observatory Workshop

Thursday, September 5, 2024

At the recently concluded African Union Gender Observatory Workshop, children from the Keembe Area Program in Kabwe took the stage to share their insights on traditional harmful practices affecting their community. Their voices highlighted the challenges faced by young people and sparked meaningful discussions on potential solutions to address these critical issues. 

Child participation is at the heart of World Vision Zambia's mission, as we believe that children are not just beneficiaries but active contributors to the decisions and actions that affect their lives. By involving children in our programs, we ensure that their voices are heard and that their unique perspectives shape the solutions to the challenges they face. This approach not only empowers children but also fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility within their communities, paving the way for sustainable change.
