The current situation is that of the coronavirus pandemic and the concern on child safety and health amidst this novel disease in Ghana. United Nations Children’s Education Fund (UNICEF) has been in the forefront in the enforcement of child rights and the promotion of child protection issues in Ghana. For instance, many children in Ghana are heavily affected by child abuse and molestation, sexual abuse of girls, child trafficking, domestic slavery of children especially orphans, child force marriages, child neglect, and worst forms of child labor. Ghana already has a record where child protection is not given a priority especially in our educational certain. Since the outbreak of COVID 19 in Ghana, I have been following government protocols and how they take into consideration child protection issues.
