Global Vote in Kenya

Every year, millions of children around the world arrange their own Global Vote Days. You make your voice heard and help decide who will receive the World’s Children’s Prize for the Rights of the Child. Some of them live in Kenya!

Kenya has ratified (pledged to follow) of the Child. This means that Kenya must respect the rights of the child and listen what children have to say. Are the rights of the child respected in Kenya – listen to what some of the children say as they cast their votes in the Global Vote
