Save the Children Fiji has recommended that Fiji ratify the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography.
“We recommend the following action points for the consideration of the Respected Standing Committee to expedite the ratification process,” Save the Children Fiji CEO Shairana Ali said.
While making their submission of the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography before the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence, Ms Ali said Fiji would be able to demonstrate to other nations that it was responsible and accountable for child protection and demonstrate to its citizens that children’s well-being was a core component of the government’s agenda and plan of action if it rectified the Optional Protocol.
