A non-governmental organisation, Save the Children International , in collaboration with the Katsina State House of Assembly Ad hoc Committee on Child Protection Law, has commenced the summarisation and translation of the law into local languages for easy comprehension and acceptability.
He said: “We are summarising and translating the law into Hausa and Fulfulde so that the people which the law is meant for can read and understand its content. We are translating it into Hausa for a time being and later it can be translated into Fulfulde”. With the enactment of the law, he said, the Assembly would continue to work assiduously with the executive arm of government and security agencies to surcease the prevailing cases of rape, sodomy, child marriage, child labour and other crimes bedevilling children, particularly girls in the state.
THISDAY reports that the Child Protection Law was presented by the executive to the state House of Assembly in 2003 during the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua-led administration in the state as Child Right Act but the then lawmakers after series of deliberations, changed the name to Child Protection Bill.
