Why are Children's Rights Important? - By The Nelson Mandela Child Parliamentarians

3/14/2022

21 Comments

 
With Human Right's Day around the corner, we asked some of our 2021/2022 Nelson Mandela Child Parliamentarians why Children's Rights are so important.
Here's what they had to say;
Picture
Name: Hon. Given Matshika
Position: Speaker of the 2021/22 Children’s Parliament
 
Why do you think that Children’s Rights are important? Children’s rights are important to us children because you get to live life to the fullest and respected knowing that you are protected and children are vulnerable and have not learned how to develop voices in their own so that’s why we have programmes like  safe and caring communities to guide.

What is an important child right for you? As a child parliamentarian I believe that children have the right to be taken seriously and share their views and ideas because as said that children are the leaders of tomorrow so I believe that children must share their views about what is affecting them and what are the solutions on that. To me this right is important because it allows children to participate in/ influence policies. As Section 17 of the Bill of Rights talks about freedom of expression, this right should also be extended to children. 

Picture
Name: Hon. Hamza Muhammad
Position: President of the 2021/22 Children’s Parliament
 
Why do you think that Children’s Rights are important? Children's rights are important because they are future of South Africa and need to be treated equally as everyone else.

What is an important child right for you? As a child parliamentarian I believe that children have the right to a good education so that they could get a high paying job in the future.

Picture
Name: Hon. Lindokuhle Ndlovu
Position: Deputy Speaker of the 2021/22 Children’s Parliament
 
Why do you think that Children’s Rights are important? As a child parliamentarian I believe that children are important and should be consulted should there be any decision regarding their well-being or future. Children are the future of this beautiful country and therefore should be equipped at an early age as to how to be even better and creative leaders of this country when their time comes. This means that as much as we have crisis in our country like any other, we should not focus more on the present and end up sacrificing the future of this country which is children by not giving them attention and the right education to better their lives. As we commemorate the 28th anniversary of human rights, let's remember the words of Oliver Tambo, "A country that does not take care of its children does not deserve its future". Let's do what's right and continue developing our nation United, protecting and valuing children and their right's in the process.

What is an important child right for you? One of the right's I specifically think is important is the one that states "every child has the right to live in a productive environment". Children should be surrounded by safe communities that inspire them to give back when they are older. They should be taught how they can be the change they want to see within their respective communities by being given platforms that will make them feel recognized and valued.

Name: Hon. Mary-Ann Pretorius
Position: Deputy President of the 2021/22 Children’s Parliament
 
Why do you think that Children’s Rights are important? I feel that if children didn't have documented rights then our needs and wants as children would not be made a priority. Children would be neglected, children would not be included in decision-making concerning children. Without us having our rights there would still be a lot of child labour, there would still be a lot of children who don't receive a basic education there would still be children who don't have an identity. Children's rights are very important and the only way to fully understand how important children's rights are, is by imagining a society without children's rights.
Picture
What is an important child right for you? As a child parliamentarian I believe that children have the right to protection. Children have a number of rights but I specifically chose the right to protection because I feel that it is a right many people neglect. The right to protection, in short, is the right for children to be protected mentally, physically and socially. Children should be protected from abuse, neglect, child labour, bullying, degradation, etc. We tend to focus on the basic rights of the child which include the right to basic education, food and shelter but I would just like to take this opportunity to shine a light on the right to protection that children have. This right in most cases lies in the hands of adults be it duty bearers, stakeholders or guardians, if the importance of this right is understood, it will be made a priority as it should be.

Children’s Parliament have been very influential in preparing our future leaders to understand the importance of standing for right s of children, youth, women, people leaving with disabilities and all citizens. Through all partners and relevant stakeholders we will be able to produce well seasoned leaders. Happy Human Rights.✊🏾

I'm so happy to share this with you that can read / see this now. When I started trading binary and forex a few months ago, I really didn't have the necessary tools to trade and I lost a lot until I met Pablo Martinez who taught me all about market psychology as he managed my account for me. Today I am grateful to him for his great offer and help because it really changed my financial situation with an investment capital of $1500 and now I'm earning around $35,500 - $30,000 profits per week.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

Hi everyone. My name is Nicolette Elliot I am here to thank great Dr Isikolo for fixing my marital problems. My marriage crashed due to unending problems and difficulties I had with my husband. He left without looking back and I was alone for so many months. His family intervened and still nothing changed. I was wrecked emotionally and lost hope in finding love again because he was everything in a man I ever wanted. Just like so many people, I got to know about DR ISIKOLO when I started searching for help. We discussed my problems at length and he assured me of getting the solution I needed. I had no choice than to comply with his procedures and he didn't delay anything. He did a love reunion bond for me and my husband and the love and happiness we shared was restored and he reached me exactly after 48 hours as DR ISIKOLO promised. He is indeed a wonderful helper and he is trustworthy. if you have any problems, just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or review his website (https://isikolotemple.com)

My name is Vanessa Edwards from Asburn USA. I never knew people could be so kind, selfless and amazing until DR ISIKOLO helped me with my marriage problems. My union with my husband was not up to a year when we started having problems. It was so frequent that i fell into depression and kept struggling with it and same time, my husband left me and vowed never to return. I didn't know what to do with my life at that point in time. I had to keep searching for help until DR ISIKOLO came to my rescue. After he made due consultations, it was clear to me that my husband's ex lover kept manipulating him so she can have him back. I was told what to do by DR ISIKOLO and with all assurance, i must get the result after 2 days which i complied and he helped me and the result was so amazing. Now my husband is back to me and we are conceiving our first child in warmth and happiness. if you have similar or love problems, Just text him via Viber/WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com or visit his website to read more about him and his works (https://isikolotemple.com)

Good day everyone. It was really heavy on me when my boyfriend left me for another lady. I was emotionally wrecked and knew not what to do to get him back. I was in distress for months and kept on searching for help from everywhere till i got to know about DR ISIKOLO. I contacted him and explained my problems to him. He was willing to help me and urge me to comply with the procedures so that he can restore the love between me and my man and also ensure we were both back to each other again. I met all the requirements and he did his job. After 48 hours, i got a text from my boyfriend asking for a date so that we can trash things out. Now we are back together and all thanks to DR ISIKOLO.

My heart was so broken when my husband left the house with no reason and it was just me and my daughter and so many beautiful memories. Over three months it was a mess without her Dad presents. A week ago I met a friend who recommended Dr Galiga love spell. Although I have never done anything like spell. But I had no other choice than to contact him at drgaligaherbalcenter@gmail.com after everything was done, my husband came home. He was so sorry for all that happened. I'm sharing my experience with others who are going through marriage or relationship problems to seek help from the right place. drgaligaherbalcenter@gmail.com

Hello, I am Lorie Chapman and I have been trying to get pregnant for over 7 years. Looking for ways online for so long, I first did Depo Provera Shot which i consecutively took every three months in order to get pregnant or fertile, but there was no way from it. I did Depo shot for 3 years constantly until the Doctors in Alabama told me to try IVF because I had Endometriosis stage 4 and I ended up trying IVF( In Vitro Fertilization). Months after my IVF nothing progressed and my situation became worse  which made me seek help from spell casters. I read a testimony about Doctor Odunga how he had helped so many women with pregnancy and fertility problems. Of all options tried, I contacted this spell caster at his email (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com). I am happy to be a mother of twins. A boy and a girl. For over 7 years of marriage I received my help from this spell caster. I want to impact someone's life and make the person get help from a good spell caster that is why I put up this testimony on this website for you. Doctor Odunga's email is (odungaspelltemple@gmail.com) Once you contact him, he will help you fast

Just like so many other people, I warmly give my gratitude to Dr Isikolo for his help and solution to my problems. I was blinded with jealousy and insecurities, and it created chaos in my relationship with my fiancé and he couldn’t resist my troubles and he left me. After he I realized I had gone too far with everything I was doing wrong to him only for him to relocate to another city and I lost every means of trying to reach him and apologize. At this point I knew I needed help to get him back, so I had to contact Dr Isikolo. He showed much concern, and I told him everything and agreed I was at fault, and he assured me of getting him back and restoring the love and happiness we shared which he did. Just as promised, after 48 hours Thompson called me and I apologized for everything and he invited me over so that we can make things up and be together again. Thank you Dr Isikolo for everything and your sincerity in helping people. Just text him via WhatsApp +2348133261196 or email him via: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com and its important you read more about him or contact him via his website (https://isikolotemple.com)

I am so happy to share this fantastic testimony of mine. My life has changed completely in 48hours. I have confidence in myself and my abilities for the first time in ages. I have my husband back in my life with the help of Dr Victory. He said sorry after 24hours, after the spell was created. He said he realized that he never really wanted to break up; he could not handle the emotional baggage I was carrying around all the time. He said that he thought he was the negative influence in my life and thought it best to leave. He said it was hard that I kept talking about the past all the time. We have both forgiven each other. I have money in my pocket that is my own at last. (My compensation cheque came through and I was told it was months away. I am living proof of what Dr Victory spells. I thank you so much Sir for the wonderful thing you did in my marriage. I am so happy now. With your help we were both able to see and speak the truth to each other. I never thought a spell could help a couple before. I am very pleased to contact you and initiate all this to happen. Anyone who has a relationship problem can contact Dr Victory.
