Staff members of Safe-Child Advocacy embarked on School awareness campaign as part of activities to mark this year’s international day for Street Connected Children.
The team, on Wednesday, 13th March, 2024 went to Kwadaso S. D. A. Junior High School “B” in the Kwadaso Municipality, and on Wednesday March 20th, visited New Amakom M/ A Junior High School “A” in the Kumasi Metropolis, both in Ashanti region of Ghana.
The aim of the campaign was to sensitize students and teachers of these schools on child rights, abuse, safeguarding and human trafficking. Over five hundred students were educated on the topics in these schools. We advised the students to prioritize their studies over any act that negatively affects their development. They were also educated on signs of child or human right abuse and empowered to report such cases to appropriate offices.
It was an interactive session. We allowed participants to ask questions, make input or share their experiences on the topics.
International day for street connected children is commemorated on 12th of April every year, and school awareness campaign is one of the activities Safe-Child Advocacy is using to mark it this year.
