TV, Radio personality Berla Mundi has charged Ghanaians to help campaign against the street children canker to curb the problem of children selling on the streets instead of being in school.

The actress’ post read, “School has resumed, yet you find children selling on the streets, begging, etc. to make ends meet for themselves and their parents, guardians, and masters. There’s been so much talk on the need to have children taken off the streets and enrolled in school.”

She thus stressed the need for the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection get involved and get these children off the streets.

School has resumed. Yet you find kids selling on the streets, begging, etc to make ends meet for themselves and their parents/guardians/masters.There's been so much talk on the need to have kids taken off the streets and into school.

Section 28 of Ghana’s 1992 constitution states that, ‘every child has the right to be protected from work that constitutes a threat to his health, education or development. The Parliament of Ghana has also passed the Children’s Act (Act 560 of 1998), which altogether protects the child from the labour and trafficking.

We must do everything in our power to end Child labour and trafficking.
