Katlehong North police came together to celebrate National Child Protection Week, last Friday.<\/p>\n
National Child Protection Week is celebrated annually and runs from May 28 to June 4.<\/p>
Child Protection Week aims to raise awareness of the rights of children, as articulated in the Children\u2019s Act of 2005.<\/p>\n
Katlehong North police, with the help of various stakeholders, invited children from various cr\u00e8ches within their precinct to join them at Huntersfield Stadium for an interactive and fun-filled campaign with the theme Let Us Protect All Children.<\/p>
The team interacted and sang with the children, teaching them more about their rights, child labour, sex exploitation, substance abuse, child abuse, human trafficking and everyday safety.<\/p>\n
The children were also taught several emergency numbers they could use in their time of need or to report crimes.<\/p>\n
Safety tip pamphlets and informative drawing books were distributed to the children in attendance before they headed home.<\/p>\n
