Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Youth, Dr. Kasan Troupe is calling for collective action to end violence against children.
Dr. Troupe delivered the keynote address on behalf of Portfolio Minister, Fayval Williams, during the National Preparatory Session for the Global Ministerial Conference on ‘Ending Violence Against Children’, in Kingston, today.
She stated that violence is not a one-man band and an all hands on deck approach is needed to end violence against children.
Noting that parents have an important role to play in this, Dr. Troupe urged them to attend parent empowerment sessions and to access psychological support available to them in schools, churches, communities and non-governmental organisations.
