MINIMUM AGE OF CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY
UNICEF is deeply concerned on the legislative efforts to lower the minimum age of criminal responsibility; from 15 to 12, and in some circumstances, to nine (9). UNICEF and civil society call on the legislature to continue and improve the implementation of the current law, the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (JJWA) of 2006, as amended in 2012. MAKING GOOD HYGIENE BEHAVIOR A HABIT
Activities and strategies that promote handwashing as something people can enjoy or that resonates with their life values and goals are showing promising results in promoting handwashing with soap and creating behavior change that lead to good hygiene habits among children. This helps them stay healthy as they grow up. |
