Residents of the Tsandi Constituency commemorated the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons at Ongongolwa Primary School at Iikokola Village in the Omusati Region.

The day raises awareness about trafficking in persons and the protection of victims's rights.

Popular Democratic Movement (PDM) parliamentarian Yvette Araes has described the recent rape of a six-year-old as shocking and a grim testament to inadequate protection measures for the most vulnerable in society, particularly children.
