Child Rights

More awareness needed on child rights

Front line child protection service provider Femili PNG advocates the rights of children and has revealed that there’s a lack of knowledge on child rights by most people.

Femili PNG operations manager Denga Illave said it’s a challenge they face every day.

Illave said they have child abuse cases reported to them with the lack of knowledge on the rights of children by the caregivers and by those who report the case.

She said another challenge is that care givers claim compensation as a solution to the abuse.
