As we mark #InternationalChildrensDay and #ChildProtectionWeek, we are reminded that this year's theme, "Peace is the Foundation of Respecting and Protecting Children's Rights", starts with creating environments where children feel safe, supported, and heard.

For a 13-year-old boy, Thabo, growing up in a community affected by violence often meant living with fear and anger. Through the Surf Therapy programme supported by the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund, he found a safe space to heal, build confidence, and develop healthy ways to manage his emotions.

Today, Thabo is doing better at school, resolving conflict positively, and looking towards the future with hope. His story is a reminder that protecting children is not only about preventing harm. It is about creating opportunities for children to heal, grow, and thrive. Every child deserves that chance.

Today marks the start of Child Protection Week.

This year’s theme, “Working together in ending violence against children”, is a reminder that protecting children cannot rest on one person, organisation, or system alone. It takes families, communities, schools, government, civil society, and all of us working together to create safer environments for children.

Every child deserves to grow up free from violence, neglect, abuse, and exploitation. And every child deserves to be heard, protected, and supported.

As the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund marks 30 years of advocating for children’s rights, we remain committed to building a society where children are safe and able to thrive.
