Kenya: Dialogue Works - for the right children
In order to strengthen the right -wing children worldwide, Terre des Hommes and the Kinderothilfe have jointly launched the "Dialogue Works" project, which now has over 20 partner organizations.
Phenyle had to work for years to contribute to the family. In Kenya's capital Nairobi, she sold coffee and snacks at events. Today Phenyle is 17 years old and is committed to the right -wing children in the "Dialogue Works" project. Young people from 15 countries work together to effectively represent their concerns towards politics.
Your support for strong children!
"My job is to compile the concerns and complaints of working children and ensure that they are heard by those responsible," Phenyle describes their role in the project. It wants to sensitize people to the rights and are entitled to the working children. »Children shouldn't do every kind of work. We also have to rest and be a child, «she says.
For Phenyle it is clear: In order for children to be protected from exploitation, their needs and concerns must be taken seriously. "Everyone in society has to understand how important it is to receive children with decision -making - especially with matters that affect them," says Phenyle.
"Decisions that are made for us without us are often directed against us."
