The United Nations in Tanzania
offers its deepest condolences to the families and communities of
children who have been brutally murdered in Njombe over the last few
weeks.
The attack and murder of children
is unacceptable. Children have a fundamental right to be safe and be
protected from violence so that they can enjoy their childhood and reach
their full potential.
“The UN joins the Government of
the United Republic of Tanzania in condemning these heinous acts. As the
UN, we stand ready to support the Government in their efforts to
address the issue,” said Mr. Alvaro Rodriguez, UN Resident Coordinator
in Tanzania. “Additionally, we call upon all stakeholders to join hands
to ensure that homes, schools and communities are safe spaces for
children.”
Children are exposed to extreme
forms of violence and exploitation in many parts of the world. “This has
to stop,” said Ms. Maniza Zaman, UNICEF Representative in Tanzania. “No
form of violence or abuse against a child is acceptable or permissible
for any reason and any such act is an outright violation of their basic
human rights
