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.
