Is the government doing enough to eradicate child abuse?
Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, the government’s efforts for eradicating child abuse is insufficient, so it need to act more to improve the current situation. Now let me explain the details.
First, statistics have shown that both the number of reported cases of child abuse and the number of consultations have been increasing at an alarming rate. So, even though the government insists that it’s taking enough actions, few people would believe it.
Next, I understand some may argue that the child welfare budget has incréased, but it is reported that social workers are overworked and overwhelmed in dealing with child abuse matters. This means that the government is not providing enough staff to address the issue. This is why the UN Sustainable Development Goals have listed ‘ensuring justice’ as one of their key challenges.
So, I conclude that the government should make more efforts to eradicate child abuse, in order to maintain a healthy and vibrant society for future generation. Thank you for your attention. [180 Words Type-D]
