The absence of essential social services in Port Kaituma, Region One means that there is no recourse for the more than 20 reported cases of child abuse, sexual assault, and suicide among the local youth, according to residents and community advocates. With no designated welfare officer in the region and limited access to mental health services, the vulnerable in the area are left without adequate support, prompting calls for an urgent intervention.
