#Child Protection
Today marks the start of National Child Protection Week – a countrywide commemoration held annually to raise awareness of the rights of children as articulated in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and Children's Act.
According to the South African Police Services crime statistics, more than 24,000 children were sexually assaulted in the 2019/2020 financial year. It is even more alarming how children living with disabilities experience neglect and sexual abuse. What this week aims to do is to remind us that the right of every child with a disability to an adequate standard of living is recognised in the South African Constitution.
