Justice for children is one of the areas that still needs to be fully addressed by Caribbean countries, said Nils Kastberg, UNICEF's Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean. Kastberg called for a holistic approach in the area of justice for children. “Our first line of action must be prevention,” he said. “We must prevent potentially vulnerable children from getting involved in anti-social activities, and likewise we need to prevent the abuse and exploitation of children and minimize their witnessing of crime, be it in domestic violence situations or in the wider society,” he added. |
