Keywords:
Mtoto, Haki za Watoto, Ukiukaji wa Haki za Watoto, Maendeleo EndelevuAbstract
Katiba ya Kenya (2010) inabainisha haki mbalimbali za watoto. Hata hivyo, haki za watoto bado zinakiukwa kutokana na madhila wanayopata katika jamii wanamokulia. Makala haya yanahakiki namna Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu ya jamii yanavyotingwa kutokana na kukiukwa kwa haki za watoto kama inavyosawiriwa katika novela ya Kivuli cha Madhila (Momanyi, 2023). Makala haya yaliyokitwa katika Nadharia ya Maadili yalichukua muundo elezi. Watafiti walihusisha usomaji wa kina wa novela husika ili kupata data yakini. Data ziliainishwa, kupangwa na kisha kuelezwa kupitia uchanganuzi wa yaliyomo. Matokeo ya utafiti huu yaliwasilishwa kinathari. Utafiti huu ulibainisha kuwa watoto wananyimwa nafasi ya elimu, kufanyishwa kazi za sulubu, kupigwa, kuteswa, kutengwa na aila zao pamoja na kulanguliwa. Makala haya yanashikilia kwamba, ili Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu yaweze kuhalisiwa kikamilifu kufikia mwaka wa 2030, ni muhimu haki za watoto zilindwe na wanajamii.
