INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1: This was followed by a discussion in which children managed to relate their experiences in the game to their daily experiences where what they do is almost always prescribed by their parents, guardians, teachers and other older people around them. This denies them their right of freedom of choice. Children in Mutoko discussing their challenges in a relaxed atmosphere 1.3.4. The Rights Posters Discussion The children, in groups discussed the violations of children's rights prevalent in their communities using illustrative posters. The discussion managed to capture the issues of those children who had been quiet in their groups. Children in Bindura and Warren Park discussing challenges that children in difficult circumstances face using posters 1.3.5. The Body Map Exercise Children summarized the problems they face and the possible solutions using body maps A child lying down, ready to provide the necessary outline for a body map 1.3.6. Election of Child Representatives Each group chose one of its members to participate on behalf of the whole group in an impromptu speech contest on children's rights. After the contest, children then voted for the best speaker who became the child representative for that district who later participated in the national consultation. A list of all the district representatives is attached at the end of this report as Appendix 1. There were two child representatives for Lupane and Nkayi districts because in each of these districts two summits instead of one were held. Warren Park and Bindura districts also had two representatives because of a tie in the votes and the need to accommodate an out of school representative respectively.
