Rwanda Public Prosecution Authority (NPPA) has started the process to a national registry of all individuals convicted for offences of rape and defilement.
Drawing from the success story of the 'Gerayo Amahoro' road safety campaign by Rwanda National Police, Mukayijori said that the same resources and zeal can be used to intensify the battle against teenage pregnancies.
One of the challenges that have come at the forefront of the reasons behind the rise in the number of teenage pregnancies is the 'culture of silence'.
Mukayijori told The New Times that speaking up is still a challenge in the Rwandans society, especially in rural areas, but holding families and society accountable will significantly contribute to lowering the numbers.
Mukayijori suggested that authorities should find a way to hold such families or members of the society accountable for their silence.
