Children and protection
My Zone visited Academia Secondary School and asked some of the learners whether the Namibian community is doing enough to protect the Namibian child.
Petersen Nghiyoonanye
No, because some children are not enrolled in school. Some children are uneducated about their rights to protect themselves from danger and perhaps have direction in life.
Jeremy Haihambo
Different people have different opinions on the matter. However, I think we all can do a little bit more to protect the Namibian child and it starts with the simple things. As a community we need to stand together to combat violence against children.
Lee-ray Coetzee
I believe that the societies including parents are concerned about the safety of children. My suggestion is that to increase the safety of children parent clubs should be established and will ensure a plan of action for the future.
Junior Kapofi
No, I don’t think much is being done to protect the rights of the Namibian child, reason being because they are just there but not tailed. There is so little being done, yes there are awareness marches on violence against children but how many marches do we need to actually take action?
Zacarias Fernandes
No because the parents who are part of the society we live in at times contribute to this. There is clearly no stopping the violence and terrible actions against children. The cycle will continue as the child raised in a violent house might think violence is the answer to everything.
Vikapite Ilonga
No, because most parents expect their children to be independent and forget they need guidance. Parents are overworked and never really put effort into giving extra care to their children. However, the blame should be put on the economic crisis and financial instability.
Uahekununa Kahiha
No, if we were doing a good job at protecting the Namibian child many of the events that took place recently involving them would not have taken place. The narrative “it takes a village to raise a child” no longer applies. If it did we would not have increased child rapes or murders. It is basically a “your child, your problem” world that we live in.
Camilla Amadhila
I feel like most parents are trying to protect their children by enforcing a rule of “no one leaves the house” or curfew time but little do they know that this not the way forward. Anything can happen to children at any given time.
Auguste Alweendo
No, the community is not doing enough in regards to kids’ safety. Kids are treated like grown people and in doing so they are not safely taken care of. The Namibian community should think of a Namibian child as something that should be treasured.
Faith Horases
The children of the world are our most precious resource and yet every day we are reminded with bad news headlines on children and violence. It is sad to see that children can’t even count on their parents for safety.
Rauzemburukua Muikute
The Namibian community is simply doing what they think is best. I say this because they use their social media platforms to post occurring incidents and this help stop perpetrators.
Phillemon Christoph
No, because as Namibians we don’t react to problems. We live in a country of self-protection. People don’t see their problems as a community problem; everyone is so on their own and standing together becomes difficult for them. We need to join hands to protect the Namibian children.
