Justice and System Changes

We have programmes that pursue justice for child victims of abuse, which in turn help with the child’s healing as well as discouraging further offences. We also work diligently to influence the childcare and protection climates in the countries where we serve, working with governments, policy makers and authorities to benefit vulnerable children.

Sadly child sexual abuse is endemic in Zambia with many men believing that they will be cured of HIV if they have sex with a child. With an average age of only 12, there is negligible support and care for the victims and painfully inadequate systems to pursue justice or to establish effective child protection laws and systems. Our pilot scheme is designed to address all of these, providing care for the victims, justice for them, and work with the authorities for reform.
