  "summary": "Former Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's adviser on Gender and Social Protection, Akosua Manu, has called for a proper national child protection framework to safeguard pupils who suffer sexual abuse in schools. Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile programme, Manu highlighted the need for a clear system through which children can report abuse, receive protection, and seek justice without fear of exposure or intimidation. She emphasized that the current arrangements do not adequately protect children who report such cases and advocated for a framework that establishes safe and confidential reporting channels, prioritizing the welfare of the child above all else.",
