Namibia: Fighting child abuse through drama
29.07.2004
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.
