As Sierra Leone rebuilds from a decade of civil war, children’s rights and juvenile justice have gained increasing attention. This enhanced focus on children is evidenced in recent legislation and policies such as the National Child Justice Strategy 2006 and the Child Rights Act 2007. Despite these initiatives, however, the number of children in conflict with the law continues to rise. As a result, DCI-SL identified a need for research addressing not only the gaps between international and domestic legal standards, but also exploring the realities of juvenile justice administration in practice. The purpose of the completed report is to encourage stakeholders to acknowledge systemic strengths and weaknesses in the hopes of promoting coordinated efforts for future progress.
