She said parents have a role of nurturing their children in a manner that follows the norms of the society and understand children needs at various stages of development.

“Of late, we have seen that children are not being looked after in proper manner and their rights are always being violated. That is why we have been compelled to commemorate this day, at the same time, to launch the campaign on the importance of families” Said Sendeza.
