The Minister of Women and Children’s Affairs, Akua Sena Dansua, has stressed the need to target young people in the effort to curb indiscipline in the country. She said, the youth have fertile minds and if acts of discipline are inculcated in them, they absorb them quickly. Madam Akua Sena Dansua said, this at the launch of the International Children’s’ Day of Broadcasting which falls on 1st March in Accra. She noted that if children are engaged in broadcasting, they will be provided the platform to express their views on issues that concern and affect them.
She reiterated government’s pledge to support women and children to bring out the best in them. She assured all stakeholders of the Ministry’s readiness to engage them in deliberations and consultations. The Country Representative of UNICEF, Dr. Yasmeen Ali Haque, urged broadcasters to allow more children’s voices on the airwaves because their contributions are one of the effective ways of accelerating the development process.
