Unite to keep children safe
The safety of South Africa’s children takes centre-stage during Child Protection Week, which runs from 29 May to 5 June.
Cynthia Nyoni, the Department of Social Development’s (DSD) Acting Director of Child Protection in the Children Services Directorate says the care and protection of children is everyone's responsibility.
Children who are exposed to sexual activity at too young an age, harmful cultural practices and South Africa’s high teen pregnancy rate are among the challenges tackled more during Child Protection Week.
