Z Skweyiya: Child Protection Week and Symposium launch

Thank you for joining us at this critical symposium in which we launch Child Protection Week, and tackle a subject that is close to our hearts: child development and protection. The overriding purpose for Child Protection Week 2007 is to raise awareness and mobilise the whole country around the protection of children against poverty and vulnerability. The child protection register in itself cannot protect children, but it is a useful mechanism when intervening in a child's life. [highlighted result]
