In the capital, the Day of the Namibian Child was celebrated at Pionier Boys School in Windhoek.

|Khomas Governor Laura McLeod-Katjirua, on behalf of the Child Welfare Minister, said meaningful access to digital technologies can empower children to realise their civil, political, cultural, economic, and social rights.

"I therefore once again call on the Ministry of Information, Communication, and Technology to expedite the passing of the cybercrime bill. This legislation will provide regulation and protection for children in the digital world, preventing and punishing online child exploitation, including grooming and child pornography."

She further said that there is a need to promote digital literacy and education for children, parents, and educators.
McLeod-Katjirua also encouraged schools to integrate digital literacy into their curriculum, teaching children about online safety and critical thinking.
