Journalists recently attended a workshop in Koforidua in the Eastern Region. The event focused on how to report carefully about children and vulnerable communities.
Organizers stressed the importance of word choice. They explained that certain items are being used to exploit children.
These items, described as a pack of noodles in one instance, have become a form of currency. This allows for the exploitation of young people.
The practice is reportedly harming the childhoods of those involved. It impacts their development and well-being.
The workshop aimed to equip journalists with the knowledge to cover such sensitive issues ethically.
