DSWD pushes juvenile welfare

THE Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) urged the public to support the amended Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act, which protects the rights of children in conflict with the law.

'In the spirit of collaboration, let us continue to work together in raising awareness, advocating for the protection of children's rights, and advancing the goals of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act,' Social Welfare Assistant Secretary Elaine Fallarcuna said on Friday during the culminating event of the 13th Juvenile Justice Week.
