Justice for Children: Bridging the gap between Legislation and Practice
Over the years, Ghana has shown progress in providing a safe environment for children`s development by ensuring a sound policy and legal environment and implementation of practical interventions. Although efforts have been made towards protecting/empowering children, there is still much work to be done especially in the area of Justice for Children System. That is, to specifically improve the condition of children who come into conflict or are at risk of coming into conflict and contact with the law.
