Parenting, protecting and sensitising children during COVID-19

The United Nations Children's Fund South Africa (UNICEF SA) has commissioned Heartlines to develop audio content which focuses on the wellbeing, rights and protection of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s important to protect children during this period of isolation from sexual exploitation online and at home. We also provide audio on explaining COVID-19 to parents and children.

This audio content is applicable to parents and caregivers, teenagers, and younger children. The content can be found on UNICEF’s social media platforms, Heartlines’ Sound Cloud channel and community radio station.
