🥊✨ Mfuzo Boxing Club & MCRC: Child Rights Workshop ✨🥊
This week, Mfuzo Boxing Club joined hands with the Makhanda Children’s Rights Coalition (MCRC) to host an empowering Child Rights Workshop for 15 of our amazing coaches and administrators, facilitated by Olwethu Kota!
As part of the day, Glyneise Arries led a fun and interactive Child Protection Courage Tools session with over 30 of our young champions. 💪💙 These activities helped children:
Spot unsafe situations 🛑
Build confidence to say “NO” and ask for help 🙋♂️🙋♀️
Recognise safe vs unsafe behaviours 🔍
Know their rights and where to report concerns 📣
Our young athletes left the session feeling braver and more aware of how to protect themselves, while our coaches and administrators learned how to create a safer, child-friendly club environment.
Workshop Highlights for Coaches & Administrators:
✅ Explored children’s rights in sports for ages 14–17
✅ Reflected on their role in protecting young Boxers
✅ Reviewed reporting systems for child protection
✅ Discussed ways to make the club more inclusive and safe
✅ Ended with a pledge – each coach committed to one practical action to uphold children’s rights
It was a day full of learning, pledges, and empowerment – making Mfuzo Boxing Club not just a place for boxing, but a safe and supportive space for all our young champions! 🥊💙
