Instituto Cabo-verdiano da Criança e do Adolescente

The Instituto Cabo-verdiano da Criança e do Adolescente (ICCA) is a governmental organization in Cape Verde dedicated to the protection and promotion of children's rights. It plays a crucial role in advocating for the welfare of minors, ensuring that their rights are respected and upheld in various contexts, including media representation. Recently, the ICCA raised concerns about the use of images of children in aid campaigns in São Vicente, emphasizing the need to prioritize the safety, dignity, and emotional integrity of children over public exposure, even in well-meaning initiatives.
