Martha is a 13-year-old from Ug<strong>and</strong>a. She<br />

is confident <strong>and</strong> committed to making her<br />

community better for children. She is part<br />

of an anti-violence club <strong>and</strong> children’s court<br />

at her school; projects supported by <strong>Plan</strong>.<br />

Martha’s club recently addressed the issue of domestic violence,<br />

bringing parents to the school for an open discussion in which<br />

children told how violence affects them.<br />

“ Working on children’s rights has changed me. At first I didn’t<br />

know that we could dem<strong>and</strong> our rights. But when I started<br />

working with <strong>Plan</strong>, my attitude changed. I learned that we<br />

should dem<strong>and</strong> our rights. I know that the government can<br />

make changes. We are presenting petitions to Parliament<br />

<strong>and</strong> advocating for children’s rights on radio talk shows.<br />

“ I want to bring change in children’s lives. I plan to be a manager<br />

of an organisation that is fighting for children’s rights. I’ll make<br />

sure that all children are respected. That’s my aim.”<br />
