CHILD PROTECTION

Recently created in a view to offer more accessibility to children’s issues and pay much attention to children’s problems. This role is handled by the Victim Support Unit though there is a feeling that VSU is overwhelmed with GBV cases and therefore gives little attention to children’s issues. Child Protection Unit solely looks at offences committed by and against children.

In conjunction with Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health, it removes children from unsafe places to safe places.

IDEALLY, ALL THE ABOVE UNITS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FOUND AT ALL POLICE STATIONS AND POSTS
