Montserrado – A civil society group, Right Holders Network has begun a nationwide campaign to amplify the voices of children amid the coronavirus pandemic in the country. Speaking during the opening of the campaign, the Chairman of Right Holders Network, Ballah F. Saywala said the campaign is aimed at accessing community approaches in protecting and promoting the rights of children amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. “The closure of schools have worsened the situation because their voices are often silenced by those who they see as the protectors of their rights. Sergeant Tarpeh also called on the civil society group to work with the police to organize a community policing task force. Meanwhile, the Deputy Commissioner of the Township of Crouzierville, Bamakollie Kerkula said residents of the township often feel reluctant to pursue human rights violations due to the distance required to get to the magisterial court.
