Students from Goromonzi during to an anti-child marriages talk
The workshop attracted a total of 26 traditional leaders who were mostly village heads. The capacity building workshop sought to enhance the knowledge of traditional leaders on constitutionally provided institutions and structures supporting democracy, particularly the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission and the Human Rights Commission. The workshop also aimed at raising the awareness of traditional leaders on their role in promoting and protecting human rights as duty bearers.
In efforts to build civic agency and public spiritedness, Public Achievement students from Goromonzi South this week invited a representative from the Legal Resources Foundation to speak to them on child marriages and other laws that protect the rights of children. Thirty seven (37) students attended the meeting that was held at Headman Musonza’s homestead. The students received reading materials with information on child rights. Headman Musonza applauded the Public Achievement Team for organising the meeting and encouraged the group to continue engaging various organisations to equip them with information for the development of their community. The Public Achievement group which consists of youths between the ages of 15 and 20 years has been carrying out an anti-child marriages crusade in Goromonzi.
