Monrovia – The Ministry of Justice through its Child Justice Sector says, it is keen on ensuring that anti-child trafficking measures are effective in Liberia. These gains according to Greaves were successful through a child justice program supported by UNMIL and UNICEF. More besides, the Child Justice Sector Coordinator said another accomplishment was the conduct of the monthly child justice working forum meetings, that encompasses government line ministries as well as civil societies and international partners, which focus on child protection. He however named lack of direct intervention for rehabilitation of juvenile lawbreakers, lack of budgetary constraints to support the Child Justice Section within the national budget, lack of implementing provisions children’s law and limited awareness on anti-trafficking measures among justice actors as some factors posing constraints to the Child Justice Sector at the Ministry of Justice. Meanwhile, Greaves wants the George Weah administration take into account key policies in strengthening the Child Justice sector at the Ministry of Justice as well as improving the capacity of the border counties.
