UNICEF launches Eseng mo ngwaneng campaign

Director of Ceremony, the UNICEF team along with their counterparts from the Ministry of Local Government, Botswana Police and the Local Organizing Committee spent the entire week here engaging different stakeholders to map out a sustainable way of ending Violence Against Children.

I have been told that the team had in-depth discussions with different groups in the communities including Children, Shebeen owners, Dikgosi, Religious leaders, Men, the VDC, Village Child Protection Committees, social workers, teachers and health workersi n an effort to gain insights on how best to address child abuse. They spoke highly of your openness and willingness to address issues of abuse, especially sexual abuse, teenage pregnancy, poor educational outcomes and truancy. Indeed, it takes a village to raise a child and it is collaborative efforts such as these that will go a long way in ending violence against children.
