Consider This: Law Reform (Part 1) - When Children Take the Stand
While court processes are daunting for adults, they can be even more intimidating for children. Many young victims face immense stress and often give up seeking justice before the process concludes. Last year, Parliament took a significant step forward by amending the Evidence of Child Witness Act, providing more rights and protections to children testifying in court. Now new amendments to the Evidence of Child Witness Act are being proposed. These changes aim to create a more supportive courtroom environment, ensuring children can provide their best evidence. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks to Sharmila Sekaran, Chairperson of Voice of the Children.
