Today’s episode will focus on Child Rights and Responsibilities
Why do you think we choose this topic? In previous episodes we learned about different laws that protect girls and boys from violence in Sierra Leone, including the Domestic Violence act and the Sexual Offences. Today we will look at the main legal protection for children, the Child rights Act and we will learn about the wide range of rights afforded to children through this act.
After this episode, you will be able to:
1. Explain what is the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
2. List important parts of Child Rights’ Act of 2007
3. Explain how rights come with responsibilities
4. Describe how to take action if your rights are not respected by adults
*This podcast is created from the recordings prepared for the Sierra Leone Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education Radio Teaching Programme. The programme is coordinated by the Directorate of Non-Formal Education, with support from UNFPA and Irish Aid.
