Today, as we celebrate Easter a season of renewal, hope, and new beginnings, I cannot ignore the painful realities some of our children are facing.
A child should never know fear in the place of innocence. A child should never carry trauma where there should be laughter. Yet, stories like this remind us that we are failing where it matters most.
R**e is not just a crime it is a deep wound on our humanity. And when it touches children, it becomes even more devastating.
We must stop placing the burden on girls to protect themselves and begin the urgent work of raising boys who understand respect, consent, and self-control. Prevention starts with what we teach, what we tolerate, and what we choose to challenge.
Let this Easter not only be about celebration, but about reflection. Let it mark a turning point where we commit to protecting the innocent and raising a generation that chooses respect over violence.
Happy Easter, but may it also be a call to do better.
