The Legal Assistance Centre urges stronger protection of minors amid Okahandja case

[PODCAST]

The Legal Assistance Centre says Namibia’s laws protect minors from sexual exploitation, but weak enforcement leaves many vulnerable. Head of Gender Yolande Engelbrecht says children under 16 cannot consent to sex, and adults involved should face statutory rape charges. She says the Okahandja case of a 16-year-old accused of killing her 23-year-old boyfriend highlights system failures and calls for stronger parental and community involvement to protect children.
