Young Reg 9 footballers benefit from sensitisation training
More than 50 children – along with coaches representing clubs that collectively reach more than 120 children – 446 players recently participated in a dynamic two-day sensitisation training focused on child protection, child safeguarding, and the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA).
Facilitators engaging young athletes
The sessions saw participants from St Ignatius, Nappi, Moco Moco, Culvert City, Tabatinga, and a Venezuelan migrant community in Region Nine (Upper Takatu-Upper Essequibo).
Led by UNICEF in collaboration with the Rights of the Child Commission-Guyana (RCC) and the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), the sessions represent a significant milestone in the ongoing Youth Empowerment Strategy through Football Initiative, first launched in Georgetown in April 2025.
From consent to reporting, these sessions are building safer fields and stronger futures, as every child has the right to play and to be protected. (GFF)
