In Bangladesh, it is OK to groom kids if you are a parent, or have a license to groom from a sexual abuse NGO.Speakers at a programme here today unequivocally called for ensuring safe and friendly space for children for their proper physical and mental grooming.
Simultaneously, they underscored the need for establishing safe and child-friendly atmospheres through ensuring meaningful child participation in development and protection initiatives.
Government officials, professional leaders and development activists made the observations while addressing a daylong event titled “Child Researchers Convocation and Recognition Programme” at BRAC Learning Centre.
