Child labour prevention youth clubs will be formed in various communities in the Awutu-Effutu-Senya District towards the elimination of child labour in the area.
The decision was taken by the Centre for Rural Enterprise Development, a non-governmental organization, working in the Central Region, in collaboration with the District Secretariat of the National Youth Council (NYC).
The District Co-ordinator of NYC, Mr. Emmanuel Sodja Martey said these at a forum to sensitize the people on the formation of the clubs, at Sankor, a suburb of Winneba.He said the formation of the clubs was being encouraged to serve as advocacy medium to eliminate child labour and other forms of child abuses.
Mr. Martey said child labour was common in the area as most children instead of going to school were engaging in fishing in either the area or Yeji.
He said the clubs when formed would sensitise the people on negative effects of child labour.
Mr. Martey said the clubs would be expected to undertake house-to-house education, report parents and guardians who would flout child labour laws to the child labour committee, assembly members or chief.Source: GNA
