Ondjiva - Seventy seven cases of violence against children were reported in 2022 in southern Cunene province, announced the National Children's Institute (INAC), adding that there was an increase of eight cases comparing to 2021.

There were 25 cases associated with sexual violence, 24 with negligence, 8 physical violence, 11 paternity issues, 5 child abandonment, 1 homicide and psychological violence.

Speaking to ANGOP, the head of the Child Protection Section of INAC in Cunene, Macuntima Samuel said that the cases are worrying, calling for tough  measures in order to discourage this practice.

“The child is an absolute priority in society and should deserve all the affection and support, not through negative practices that end up violating their rights, dignity and self-esteem”, he said.

Macuntima Samuel encouraged families to protect their children to avoid the  the risk of being raped in the streets, jeopardizing their integral development.

Cunene province has eight child protection networks, which are responsible for boosting activities to combat and prevent violence against minors in families.
