A candlelight for justice: the youth refuse to inherit silence

Students from BAC and the University of Botswana gathered for a Candlelight Justice event, standing united to demand a safe and protective environment for every child.

At dusk, a crowd including young children holds lit candles at a Candlelight Justice vigil.

We would like to sincerely thank the Botswana Accountancy College SRC and the University of Botswana SRC for putting together this powerful Candlelight Justice event.

We gathered to stand united in purpose and to demand change. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that all children grow up in a safe and protective environment. It is evident that there is a critical gap between policy commitments and their implementation, a gap that can no longer be ignored.

The youth refuse to inherit silence. We choose courage, accountability, and change.

If standing in this light has stirred something you need to talk about, free and confidential help is one tap away on our Get Help page.
