Mon, 21 May 2001 Source: --

The Director of the Tema sub-regional office of the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (GHRAJ), Mrs Abena Bonso Eck has advised students and children to report any form of sexual harassment to their parents or the law enforcement agencies, writes The Ghanaian Chronicle.

She said the rights of children are protected under the laws of the land and they should therefore not hesitate to seek help whenever the need arises.

Mrs Eck was addressing a youth forum organized by the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) as part of activities marking the Constitutional Week at Tema, near Accra attended by various youth groups drawn from the municipality.

She said the Children's Act 560 of 1998 requires parents to provide their children with their needs and urged the youth to express their views on issues that affect them.
