National Child Protection Week (30 May to 6 June 2021) is commemorated annually to raise awareness of the rights of children as articulated in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa and Children’s Act (Act No. 38 of 2005). We can support Child Protection Week by ensuring that the most vulnerable in our society do not suffer abuse. The ISKCON CPO and regional CPTs not only educate children about their rights, but also educate adults, parents, guardians, and teachers who are responsible for protecting those rights.
To find out more please contact CPOiskconsa@gmail.com. Watch the Women’s Collective SA interview with CPO head, Vraja Valisini and her assistant, Balai here
