Justice department launch website to encourage children to know their rights

In commemoration of the Child Protection Week, the Department of Justice and Constitutional Development will affirm its commitment to protect and promote children’s rights through the launch of the Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) website in Upington on Friday, 3 June 2011.

The focus of child protection week is to raise awareness on responsibilities of individuals, families and communities to be self-reliant and to preserve the child’s family structure. The FAQ will serve as a resource point for the public and will be updated on a frequent basis. It will also include links to the website of the Department of Social Development, as well as the website of the South African Social Security Agency.

The Lukkanyiso Primary School has been identified as one of the schools that will be presented with a laptop and 3G card to enable them to access the FAQ information on the established website.
