Not Just News \u2014 A Collective Tragedy<\/h3>\n

The repeated reporting of sexual violence, abduction and murder involving children raises serious questions about child protection mechanisms, effective law enforcement, institutional oversight and access to justice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

State institutions have a responsibility to ensure prompt action on complaints involving children, transparent investigations, legal and psychological support for victims and their families, and lawful prosecution of those found responsible.<\/p>\n

Protecting the identities and personal information of child victims is equally essential to safeguard their dignity, privacy and safety.<\/p>\n
