Every child is a child first, before they are a migrant. The High Court ruling in SERI vs Operation Dudula protects all children’s right to access schools and healthcare. No child should be denied care or education. #ChildRights #AccessToEducation #HealthcareForAll

Denying a child learning or healthcare is denying them a future. This ruling is a victory for dignity, equality, and childhood itself. Let’s continue to stand up for every child everywhere.
