Kimberley Fusire

Kimberley Fusire is a 16 year-old from Zimbabwe. They have been a child rights activist since the age of 10 when they were inspired to make change after seeing the abuse children in her community were experiencing. She believes that, being a patriarchal society, the voice of the girl has always been considered last or not considered at all; and her lifelong goal is to use the gift of her voice and passion to challenge that norm. Over the past six years, Kimberley has been active as the voice of the voiceless in public places, and teaches her peers and older people about children's rights. She was selected to be part of the World's Children's Prize Child Jury at 12, and was also nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize.

One action Kimberley would like everyone to take:

“I long for a world where everyone takes time to respect the next person irregardless of gender, age, opinion, nationality, skin colour, past differences and the like. It is my greatest hope that we all hear what the other person has to say. Being part of WOW's selected few this year, is another step closer to achieving the change I wish to see!”
