UNIVERSAL CHILDREN DAY- RETROSPECT OF STANCE FOR A SAFER SPACE FOR CHILDREN

Image
  On this day, Nov 20 2020 Friday morning, history was made and will never be forgotten as long as the LNCRF is still in existence for the cause of championing the rights of all children in Liberia. We demanded the right thing to be done. We Assembled peacefully under the UNCRC article 15, and with support from the 2011 children's law of Liberia. Our major focus: Liberia as a country is a signatory to this treaty in 1993, and was rectified in 1991. We must join others countries to celebrate children all across the globe every year on Nov. 20, to amplify their voices and provide for their growth and development, protect them from all forms of violence and abuses. On this day, I'm want to say Happy universal children's day to all children in and out of Liberia. We must implement laws and policies in the interest of Liberian Children. We must continue to fight hunger and provide adequate shelter/support for all children in Liberia. We must ensure quality education for all chi...

Cool Winter-ABRAHAM GAYAH

 It was a cool Tuesday afternoon   From both sides, you could see the sun and the moon   Every couple along and I was alone   Am I a stranger?  Or do I look so different? Hands in hands people moving   But here I am my two hands swinging   How I wish for someone,   a helper more than a wife,  a lover more than a friend   I get lost in a world of thousands of people   But none to love and non to share my heart with   Am I a monster?  Or I’m just so insignificant?     I drag along my silent plaque   To a lone girl in the distance path of the park   People know impressions but I had just intentions   My thoughts feel feeble, but I trust that I can   Yes I can- I can make love to another   If even none choose to love me back   My spirit teases me to hunger-   But I am inspired to give in an offer ...

  I extend many thanks and praises to God almighty for protecting our lives while under this global crisis COVID-19. As we fight to reimagine a better future for every child, let’s all continue to follow all the necessary health measures put in place by the government of Liberia to help eradicate coronavirus out of our country, at the same time in observance of the Day of the African Child (DAC) and smooth transitioning of power to another group of advocates and activist to steer the affairs of the LNCRF. As we celebrate another children’s day in 2021, it reflects my mind’s to renew our commitment to the principles established by the Liberia National Children Representative Forum cherish in the 2011 Children’s Law of Liberia and our regional commitment to the welfare and protection of children within the African Charter on Rights and Welfare of children and the fundamental global guarantee for all children, an episode of the freedom and the space for children to enjoy their sanity...

Feminist Dialogue

 It was a great opportunity to have been chosen to participate in One Day feminist Dialogues hosted by  Youth Crime Watch-Liberia .  The dialogue seeks to build the capacity of young adults to tackle issues of injustices, discrimination, and gender inequality.  The flagship program provided me the space to expand my ideas on what it actually means to be a feminist, #he_for _she advocate and how we could promote an equal seat at the dialogue table. It was amazing having wonderful panelists like Ruth Henry and Vickjune Wutoh. Thanks to my special buddy Felecia Carr who make it over being part of the dialogue as well.
