The State Department for Children Services is committed to strengthening systems that protect and empower children from their early years.
Children Welfare Services Principal Secretary, Carren Achieng Ageng'o, said children across the country continue to face violence in their homes, schools, and within the communities.
The PS noted that many children are neglected, go missing or suffer in silence due to weak protection systems and the absence of responsive care.
Ageng'o was giving the keynote address when she opened the 6th National Early Childhood Stakeholders' Conference at a Garissa hotel that brought together different stakeholders, partners and participants from different counties.
