The Ahafo-Ano South District Child Committee has intensified the fight against child labour, defilement, parental neglect among others in the area.
The committee has therefore called on stakeholders especially the police, the Department of Social Welfare, assembly members, traditional and religious leaders as well as the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to join the committee to make the exercise a success.
Nana Amankuo Ntiamoah, Nifahene of Mankranso and Chairman of the Committee, announced this at a meeting of the committee at Mankranso.
He said the committee in conjunction with stakeholders has embarked on a house-to-house educational campaign to discourage offenders from taking advantage of their ignorance to abuse the rights of children.
Nana Ntiamoah pointed out that parents in estranged relationships should not deprive their children their rights since they had nothing to do with the break-up.
He said child abusers when caught would be dealt with according to the law of the land.
He called on parents to see to the welfare and proper upbringing of their children since they are the nation's future leaders.
