16 days of activism 2017 by Celia Thompson
Leave violence behind and take women forward
Save the girl, beat the crime
Monthly roundup August 2017
Nuclear tension between the US and North Korea, Extreme weather around the world including Sierra Leone, Muslims go Mecca to perform Hajj pilgrimage for that and a guru does the unspeakable in India.
DAY OF THE AFRICAN CHILD 2017
Education is the first step empowerment. Instead of the usual of celebrations and organised fun days I’d rather see governments invest in better infrastructure, build more schools come, train more teachers, and create more opportunities through scholarships. Unlike violence towards children and other harmful practices, education is one right that we can all agree the children deserve and must have. We can and must do more. The SDG’s must be met by 2030.
