Child abuse with Gerson Neumbo

A report from Unicef says 12 child sexual assault cases were reported in the Kunene region between January and September alone, with shocking details of incest and abuse perpetrated by biological fathers and close family members.

Joining the show to unpack this crisis is youth advocate and Children’s Parliament member Gerson Neumbo, who offers a child rights perspective on the breakdown of community protection. Neumbo highlights the severe gap between Namibia’s progressive policies on paper and the real-world implementation in remote rural areas.
