By NDLG Communication Office

Ntungamo

The Ntungamo district woman member of parliament Beatrice Rwakimaari has expressed concern over the increasing caes of child  neglect attributing to early marriages and failure  to fulfill their obligations.

Rwakimaari revealed that child battering and defilement, and cultures that allow early marriages and sexual harassment have persisted.

Ntungamo district registers atleast two cases of abandoned children every week with most of them from the town councils of Rubaare and Rwahi-Rwentobo.
