As a society, we must be willing to devote more financial, human and --Other leadership to strengthen communities to reduce violence and drug and alcohol abuse, so that relations and sex education in our program, to name but a few measures being and protects our children.
We have already addressed many of these proposals to the government and expect it to provide resources for this. HOWEVER child protection very ect the responsibility of civil society as a whole.
