Human rights

A t “The Angels” we believe all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, are endowed with reason and conscience, and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

At “The Angels” we believe human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world, from birth until death. They apply regardless of where you are from, what you believe or how you choose to live your life. These basic rights are based on shared values like dignity, fairness, equality, respect and independence.

In Tanzania many children rights are not met those right may include food and water as well as basic services such as health care and education. In many cases, children are deprived of these rights because they live in poor households which do not have enough income to afford the relevant good and services. Tanzania is still one of the countries which are too far from fully complying with the International Convention on the Rights of the Child. This is caused by poverty which is high. Such poverty has a negative impact on the living conditions of young Tanzanians. One of this impact is the malnutrition there are lots of family in Tanzania still won’t able to buy food due to poverty. They are not able to get their right to food and more than 70 percent suffer from malnutrition and anemia.

Child abuse in Tanzania still there is child abuse despite government efforts taken against it. Many children are exposed to sexual violence, physical violence and psychological violence committed by the relation in their own communities, school, or at home. In addition, there are several bad traditions in Tanzania such as early marriages and forced marriages, among others.
Although child marriages have been continuously declining over the last few years, little girls are still forced to marry, sometimes as young as 12 years old. These marriages have serious implications for the little girls who do not understand the importance of such a commitment and the obligations it entails. Also, some are raped and abused by their often older husbands.

Street children also in Tanzania there are children living on the streets. especial in the largest city, where children flock from every direction in the hope of escaping the misery and violence of rural areas. This phenomenon has been constantly rising due to rapid urbanization.

Child labor according to Tanzanian law, it is prohibited to employ children below the age of 14 for light work and to employ children below the age of 18 for hazardous work. However, in some area, the families send their children (mostly under 14 years of age) to work rather than sending them to school. Other families prefer their children to work  on the farm or at home.
