New report shines spotlight on invisible scandal of child justice in Africa
Addis Ababa, 8 May 2018. A major new report aimed at galvanising action on children’s access to justice in Africa was launched today at a conference attended by child rights experts, representatives of governments, policymakers, lawyers, academics and journalists.
Spotlighting the Invisible: Justice for Children in Africa reveals how thousands of children across the continent are denied access to justice and paints a distressing picture of discrimination, inadequate funding, poor training, unaccountable traditional justice systems and slow progress on children’s rights.
