Today, we celebrate Heroes Day and honor the courage, resilience, and dedication of individuals who fight for a better world. At Question and Answer, we believe that every child deserves a safe, nurturing environment to thrive.

Inspired by the legacies of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, we continue their work towards creating a world where children's rights are respected and their wellbeing is prioritized.

Let's draw strength from these heroes and work together to build a brighter future for our children!

In just the first quarter of 2024, Zambia recorded over 𝟐,𝟒𝟎𝟎 𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭. That means 27 children were sexually abused every day. Section 19 of the Children’s Code Act No. 12 of 2022 makes defilement a 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 punishable by law, not a private family issue to be settled with money or silence. When families, teachers, and even community leaders choose negotiation over justice, they shield perpetrators and endanger more children.

We call on the Zambian Police 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬, and the Ministry of Community Development and Social Services, to put an end to these out-of-court settlements. Justice for children cannot be bought.
