BONELA Discussing Access to child friendly justice System (1) on YARONA FM: 16 JUNE 2020

BONELA

In many African countries, children’s welfare needs and their status in issues pertaining to the law, where they are required to serve as witnesses , classified as victims of abuse and in most instances, subjected to parental disputes, their rights are overlooked and violated. Therefore this year’s June 16 theme highlights the significance of providing legal literacy in schools and even the society as simple laws or informal justice that children should know and should be able to utilize if need arises. This is mainly to promote children’s rights and their role in the justice processes.
