Peer-to-Peer Child Protectors Extend Their Reach to Garsbale

In a remarkable display of initiative and dedication, children who participated in the Peer-to-Peer Child Protector training in Mogadishu, offered by ANPPCAN-SOM, have taken significant strides in spreading awareness about children’s rights. This initiative, which initially started in Mogadishu, has now extended to the Garsbale district, making a substantial impact, particularly within the displaced persons camp in Al-Adala.

The Power of Peer Advocacy

The Peer-to-Peer Child Protector training program was designed to equip children with the knowledge and skills necessary to advocate for their rights and those of their peers. The training emphasized the importance of understanding and safeguarding children’s rights, empowering young advocates to become agents of change within their communities.

The children who underwent this training have embraced their roles with enthusiasm and commitment. They have actively engaged their peers and community members, sharing vital information about children’s rights and protection. This grassroots approach has proven to be incredibly effective in raising awareness and fostering a culture of respect and understanding for children’s rights.

Extending Reach to Garsbale

One of the most significant achievements of this initiative has been its expansion to the Garsbale district. The trained children have taken it upon themselves to extend their efforts beyond Mogadishu, reaching out to vulnerable populations in the displaced persons camp in Al-Adala. This extension of the initiative is a testament to their dedication and the far-reaching impact of the training provided by ANPPCAN-SOM.

Impact in Al-Adala

Within the displaced persons camp, these young advocates have engaged with their peers and community members, disseminating crucial information about safeguarding rights and protection. Their work has not only raised awareness but also empowered individuals within the camp to take proactive steps in protecting and upholding children’s rights.

Through interactive sessions, discussions, and community engagement activities, the trained children have created a ripple effect, ensuring that the message of children’s rights reaches every corner of the camp. Their dedication to this cause is fostering a safer environment where the rights of all children are recognized and upheld.

Creating a Safer Environment

The efforts of these young advocates are pivotal in creating a safer and more inclusive environment for all children in the community. By spreading awareness about children’s rights and protection, they are helping to build a community where every child is valued, respected, and protected.

Their work is also helping to break down barriers and challenge harmful practices that may infringe upon children’s rights. By educating their peers and community members, these young advocates are contributing to a cultural shift that prioritizes the well-being and rights of children.
