Children's Ombudsperson's Office calls for protecting children’s rights when sharing information

The Children's Ombudsperson's Office has called for information to be disclosed in a manner that does not violate children's rights.

In a statement issued yesterday, the office emphasized that children are entitled to special protection under both the Constitution and international treaties to which the Maldives is a signatory. It is therefore the responsibility of the state to protect children from all forms of mental and physical harm.
