Walk Against Child Abuse Held Last Saturday
Child Abuse, Prevention & Awareness Month ended last Saturday, April 27, with a walk against child abuse and neglect.
The Child Abuse Prevention Walk, which was being hosted by the Child Care Board (CCB), started at Dover Playing Field, Dover, Christ Church, at 8:30 a.m.
It travelled in a northerly direction along Bath Village to the junction of Bath Village and St. Lawrence Main Road (Highway 7). Making a right turn at the junction, walkers travelled along Highway 7 to the Police Station in Oistins, Christ Church.
Scores of Barbadians and visitors turned out and walked for the cause wearing blue in support of the month.
Child Abuse, Prevention & Awareness Month was held under the theme: Our children deserve to be safe: There is no excuse! Let us protect them.
