PRESS RELEASE - 14th JULY, 2023
Caritas Zambia has learnt about the arrest of the 8-year-old boy of Matero East Township in Lusaka with dismay. It is so disheartening to see such things happening in this age and time when the country has so many laws that have been enacted to support the protection, promotion and fulfilment of children’s rights and wellbeing. Among these laws include; the Penal Code (Amendment) of 2022, the Children’s Code Act of 2022.
