Today, as the world marks Universal Children’s Day, we are reminded of the responsibility each of us carries to protect and uphold the rights of every child—especially across the Horn of Africa, where children’s voices and futures deserve stronger protection and greater opportunity.
To reflect on this important day, we invited Said Isse, a long-time advocate for children’s rights, to share his thoughts.
“As someone who has lived the journey of childhood, worked within children’s rights organisations, and now raises children of my own, I feel privileged to share this message. Every child deserves the fundamental human right to participate in shaping the digital world. It is our responsibility to ensure that this world protects them, empowers them, and allows their voices to be heard.”
— Said Isse, Director, Ubah Media Lab.
Let today be a reminder that championing children’s rights is not a one-day commitment—it is a collective duty we carry every day.
