Dar es Salaam. Parents and guardians have been urged to heighten vigilance to protect children from various risks during the festive season, a period characterised by increased movement, social gatherings and reduced supervision as families celebrate Christmas and the New Year.
Experts warn that although the holidays are meant for rest and celebration, they often expose children to greater danger as they spend more time outdoors, interact freely with different people and visit crowded or high-risk areas with minimal adult oversight.
