Invest in child protection, UNICEF implores mining sector

Speaking at the bi-annual general meeting of the Chamber of Mines, UNICEF Head of External Communications and Advocacy Tuduetso Kelapile expressed concern over the increasing incidents of violence in the country.

“We are grappling with a silent pandemic that many of us are turning a blind eye to. Each day, we read about a child being raped, a child being defiled, and a child giving birth to another child, a woman being killed, but we are not doing enough to address all these,” she said.
