The Office of the Children’s Ombudsperson has urged the public and media to refrain from disclosing personal information about children, citing the need to protect their rights and dignity. Highlighting the Maldives' constitutional and international obligations, the office warned that revealing such details could endanger children’s safety and wellbeing. Media outlets were reminded of their ethical and legal responsibilities, with potential actions promised for violations.
