Today we continue the fight to end child labour. 138M children's hands hold work instead of school and 1 in 3 children are denied an education. Child labour isn't a child's failing; it's a system's. On #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour, we go after the roots of exploitation. (@ilo)
Yesterday we marked #InternationalDayOfPlay. In our programmes, play isn't just play for a child who's known harm, it's a language: a way to rebuild trust and feel safe again. This is where healing begins. Protect play, protect childhood.
Today we honour Uganda's heroes, past and present. Their courage reminds us that freedom is built by those who give of themselves for others. We carry that spirit into every step toward a Uganda free from exploitation. 🇺🇬 #HeroesDay
The Uganda Martyrs remind us that lasting change often begins with the courage to stand for what is right. Today, we celebrate a legacy of conviction, resilience, and service to others. #EndExploitation#UgandaMartyrsDay
The EAC has a proposed Bill that could protect millions from trafficking across 8 EAC nations. Civil society is mobilising. You're invited.
