Suppression of Free Speech: A Threat to an Egalitarian and Child-Friendly Society-A Call to Action

Since 1997, my advocacy has focused on building an egalitarian society where children can thrive. It is my conviction that preparing children for the future is not enough, must also prepare the future for our children. If the surest way to predict a bright or gloomy future is to create it, then our commitment to raising balanced and empowered children must be intricately connected to building a society founded on equality and justice. This foundational belief forms the basis of my advocacy and underscores the urgency of this piece.

The suppression of free speech doesn’t just silence dissent; it threatens the foundation of a society that values fairness and justice for all, including our children. From the extrajudicial detention of advocates like Dele Farotimi to the criminalization of journalists and private citizens, the erosion of this fundamental right undermines our future.

It’s time to act. Defending free speech isn’t just a fight for democracy, it’s a fight for the kind of society we want to leave for our children.
