It is important that everyone works together to prevent the exploitation of women and children by protecting the most vulnerable. Here are some ways that you can help prevent abuse.

​

• Work with community leaders, organizations, schools and police to ensure that child protection is a priority.

  • Build awareness about abuse taking place.

  • Speak out against harmful practices and attitudes and inform the police of the abuse when you encounter it.

​

• Get trained in child protection strategies that help you recognize, report and response to abuse against children. 

​

• Regularly hold conversations in your home with family members and children about the protection of children’s and women’s rights to safety.

​

• Educate others within your communities, schools and local organizations.

​

• Create a child protection committee within your community.

​

• This committee would serve as educators and advocates. They can look out for signs of abuse and advocate for police protection.
