Members of Parliament have been challenged to come up with Bills supporting the boy -child the way they do about the girl-child.
Ahadi Kenya Trust CEO Stanley Kamau said boys undergo difficult challenges just like girls.
“The boy child is being sodomised, harassed and beaten. We also need a law that can protect them because in the next few years, we may have a society that is not able to control what will be happening in families”, he said.
He called on men in the society to take up their roles and advise boys so they can grow to be men of substance.
He said Ahadi will be providing boys in schools with a dignity pack to help them be able to live a dignified life.
A dignity pack includes boys’ under wears, soap and a hygiene kit.
He called on the Governments to also consider assisting boys as they do to school girls.
He spoke in Tetu Boys Primary School in Nyeri town when he donated shoes, sanitary towels for girls and a dignity pack for boys.
He distributed the items to four schools targeting class six to eight pupils.
Nyeri MP Ngunjiri Wambugu thanked the organisation for the assistance.
Starehe MP Charles Njagua said there is need for Parliament to pass laws that will assist the boy-child.
