He said that 75 cases had been treated while 45 were pending. Mr Abdullahi stated that 80 cases concerned child abandonment and child rights violations.
According to him, 29 of the cases received during the period under review were on domestic violence and the right to life.
“The remaining 11 cases concerned economic and cultural rights, law enforcement abuses and neglect of parental responsibilities,” he said.
