Save the Children Fiji says there has been no reduction in the level of sexual offending against children in Fiji. 

It follows the release of December's 2023 Rape and Sexual Offences Statistics from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. 

Save the Children's chief executive Shairana Ali told RNZ Pacific's Caleb Fotheringham there is a lack of public outrage in the country when it comes to violence against children.
