This event also recognised that we are celebrating International Children's Day just nine days before the historic Fifa World Cup. We, therefore, launched a Children's Rights and Responsibilities Development Programme for the Fifa World Cup and beyond. The main objective of this programme is to empower children and communities on children's rights and responsibilities. We are appealing to parents and caregivers to ensure that proper supervision of children takes place and that precautionary measures are taken during the extended closure of schools for the mid-term holidays.
