Namibia: Fighting child abuse through drama

Despite the increase in awareness of women and children's rights, many cases of abuse remain unreported to the authorities. And concerned with the situation, Lifeline/Childline, which implements other programmes, such as counselling and hotline services, has identified the need for a child-focused programme. Through the programme, the organisation uses educational drama for young children as a means of interacting with primary school learners, informing them about sexual assault and building skills to address it.
