Luanda - Angolan government plans to create an Action Plan to Prevent and Combat Sexual Violence against Children, as part of a new model of decentralisation of the social protection policy and municipalisation of social action.
The information was disclosed Wednesday by the secretary of State for Family and Women Promotion, Alcina Lopes Kindanda, at the closing ceremony of the National Campaign for Prevention and Combat of Sexual Violence against Children, which ran from March 2021 to March 2023.
Kindanda said that the proposal has already been formalised and that it is currently gathering more contributions.
The plan, Kindanda said, includes a set of relevant actions, whose objectives are based on the pillars of prevention, protection, combat and development that are part of the new municipalisation model of social action.
The official added that during the two-year campaign several actions had been carried out, with emphasis on the awareness raising that covered an overall 4.5 million people.
Kindanda explained that at the beginning of the National Campaign for the Prevention and Combat of Sexual Violence against Children in 2021, the National Children Institute (INAC) registered in the whole country 1,141 cases of sexual violation against children, after one year of work in 2022, 4,706 cases of sexually violated children were registered.
The secretary of State said that in view of the work carried out, until this month,2,593 cases were registered, a significant reduction of almost half compared to 2022.
