This book by Therence Zabze Tenyindze is designed as a tool to stop the recurrence of poor family planning and child-rearing practices in Sub Saharan Africa
Therence Zabze Tenyindze discusses the importance of planning before having children. He examines the cultural diversity in Africa that encourages polygamous marriages, early unions and unplanned pregnancies and their corollaries. The author underlines the rights and duties of parents towards their children, particularly in terms of basic needs, education, health and emotional support, as well as the right to a safe environment, free from abuse and exploitation. Emphasis is placed on protecting children’s rights, notably by facilitating access to education in disadvantaged areas where various obstacles hinder learning. The benefits and challenges of social media for children are also addressed.
