But Anitah Prossy Namuwoya is already following her passion of fighting for children and girls' rights.

For instance, Namuwoya says, there have been cases where she has seen men harassing girls on the streets and she has been bold enough to tell them to stop.

From time to time, Namuwoya, who stays in Nsambya, a Kampala suburb, with her father and siblings, is fond of going around her neighbourhood to sensitise young girls on their rights but also on sexual reproductive health.

Namuwoya is a student at Uganda Youth Development Link, a non-governmental organisation that enhances social economic transformation of young people through skills development and self-reliance.

It is no wonder that this same passion and zeal saw Namuwoya selected to participate as one of the panelists at last year's media round table discussion organised by United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the rights of children.
