Respect your rights before the community respects them, Child Rights Governance Project Officer for Save the Children in Rumbek urges children.
Gabriel Diardit Ngor told kids not to abuse their rights so that parents continue to care for their schooling, Radio Good News reports.
He urged the government to formulate laws that protect rights of the children and bring violators to book.
Western Lakes State Deputy Speaker Chol Kutowel encouraged children to cooperate with their parents in order to get more support for their studies.
Speaker Marik Nanga Marik said rights go along with responsibilities that individuals have in the house and the society.
The officials made the remarks on Friday during Save the Children’s one-day kids’ conference in Rumbek.
