National Child Protection Week (CPW) is commemorated in South Africa annually to raise awareness of the rights of children as articulated in the Children\u2019s Act of 2005.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s theme was \u201cWorking Together to Protect Children\u201d and was celebrated from May 31 to June 7.<\/p>

To raise awareness in the Primrose community during CPW, the Primrose police visited the Kruis Kinders Aftercare.<\/p>\n

Officers and members of the Primrose Crime Prevention Youth Desk taught the children from the aftercare about crime and what rights they, as children, have to defend themselves against crime.<\/p>
