This was during the second session of the National Platform for Child Protection presided at by the Minister of Social Affairs, Pauline Irene Nguene, yesterday June 10, 2020.

While launching the activities, the Minister of Social Affairs, Pauline Irene Nguene, said it was inevitable to concentrate the second session of National Platform for Child protection to reiterate the need for all Cameroonian children to be protected from the dangers of Covid-19.

Noting that the month of June is being dedicated to the child in Cameroon, Pauline Nguene said the 2020 edition of the Day of the African Child has as main objectives; raising awareness of national and international legal instruments for the protection of children involved in the judicial system, to present the strategies and actions of the State and its partners to ensure better protection of children involved in the justice system and to identify mechanisms, at local level, for the promotion and protection of children involved in in- formal or traditional justice.

In this regard, Valentine Foreke Asongtia said that the National Platform for Child Protection cannot remain indifferent in the face of a humanitarian menace such as Covid-19.

It should be recalled that the National Platform for Child Protection was created inter alia, to ensure the coordination of actions in child protection, through strategic and operational planning allowing anticipation of problems, solutions and better taking into account the specific needs of children, with a view to greater synergy / coherence of the interventions of the various actors amongst other things .
