Working to ensure every child is protected in Zanzibar
DESPITE strides by the government and stakeholders to eradicate violence, there are still a number of children in Tanzania who report experiencing violence and abuse with many of them failing to receive immediate support.
According to government statistics collected from the police, about 1,091 abuse and violence-related incidents were reported to various police stations in Unguja and Pemba in 2017/2018, compared to 2,449 incidents that were reported in 2016/2017.
In efforts aimed to ensure that children on the Island remain safe from any kind of abuse and thus fulfill their dreams, Save The Children is implementing a Child Protection System strengthening programme in Zanzibar reaching a number of families.
