Following the viral video showing the horrific assault on a girl, Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, Lynda Tabuya says this is not discipline Fiji, this is child abuse.

Tabuya says it is a crime and it must stop.

She says five out of six children in Fiji face this.

Tabuya further says the adults standing around are also part of perpetuating this crime and she is urging them to speak up, step in, protect the child and report the perpetrator.

The Minister says let us band together to protect our children, be the voice for the voiceless and be the help for the helpless.
