- November 22nd 2023
Globally, November 19 is acknowledged as the International Day for the Prevention of Child Abuse, while November 20 is celebrated as International Children’s Day. The momentous days both aim to raise awareness about the challenges faced by children, including their rights to education, healthcare, and protection from abuse. In honor of these events, the Ministry of Equity, Social Justice, and Empowerment launched the Sidewalk Chalk Activities at the Gros Islet Primary, Vieux Fort Primary, and Beanfield Secondary Schools. The Division of Human Services carried out this initiative. The Community Services Unit also organized an island-wide Self-Awareness Day for children participating in the Community After-School Program (CASP).
