⚠️ More Information Required
This section is incomplete. Please help by adding more childred whose dreams were cut shot so we may never rest until justice is served. How and Who Can Contribute?
Before They Could Dream: The Lives We Took Too Soon.
📜 Children Deserve Safety Under the Constitution
Kenya’s Constitution firmly protects the rights of every child, guaranteeing their security, dignity, and equal protection under the law (Articles 10, 53, 54) Section 53: Rights of Children. No child should face violence or fear—especially not from those charged with keeping peace.
📜 International law violations
- UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)
- African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights
- Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
- UN Human Rights Council Resolution 25/38 – Protection of Human Rights in Protests (2014)
🎯 We must always protect the future of Kenya — and that future lives in our children. When a nation raises its hand against them, it is not just a child who dies, but a piece of our conscience, our promise, and our tomorrow.
🎯 We demand justice. We demand truth. We demand accountability. We demand that never again should a child die by the hand of those sworn to protect them
