Children Ask For Protection

The event was hosted by Gaborone City Council in collaboration with the Gaborone community under the theme ‘The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development for Children in Africa: accelerating Protection, Empowerment and Equal Opportunity’.

Giving her speech, Sesha Chauto from Livingstone Kolobeng College expressed concern over child abuse and violence. She criticised a practice whereby young girls are denied their childhood through marriage to older men.
