Vulnerability is all about being Human

Take off the mask. Put your guard down. Enough about hiding your insecurities. Today I want to talk about vulnerability. Yes! Vulnerability.

I have found that many of us look at vulnerability as a weakness and we all dread the thought of being open to people about those things we are not proud of doing or the things we are still doing that we never want people to find out about us. 

It Is Time We Practised More Self-Compassion than Compassion

“I want to be a Child Protection Champion for teenagers, Can I? Is it possible?

“Corazon that dream is way too big for you to achieve! “

“You are too weird and too ugly to fit in! You just do not qualify “

  “Your shape and form look like one of a lion. You cannot be beautiful in anything you dress in.”

“You deserved the rejection from that friend! You deserve all that is happening to you and more. That is what you get for setting your standards too high!”

‘They will laugh at your stupid ideas and opinions”

What Access to Justice Meant Growing Up as an African Child

Today we mark the International Day of the African child. A day marked to honour ten thousand black school children who took part in the Soweto Uprising in 1976 to protest poor quality education and demanded to be taught in their own language. Hundreds were shot and hundreds killed in the protest. This day has been celebrated every year since 1991. (Wikipedia)

The theme of this year's celebration theme is Access to Child-Friendly Justice System. This theme has made me think of access to justice which starts at home; with family being the first point where children learn about justice and access justice.
