“We want to raise awareness in school and be able to access the targeted group of children to educate them about rape, drug abuse, bullying, child stealing, human trafficking and teenage pregnancy.
“We urged them to respect their parents, educators, and other learners and take their learning period serious,” she explained.
The learners were further urged to report any form of abuse to an adult who will help them to further report to the police any forms of sexual offences or crimes that they might witness or become victims of.
“We are calling on children to reach out for help immediately when they suspect that they are or might be in danger,” she explained.
