Special priority is afforded to juveniles and children in conflict with the law, victims of domestic violence, the elderly and the disabled. Children who are victims of domestic violence are afforded legal representation in court and counselling to help them in court proceedings that can last for years, and result in irreparable damage in the pursuit of justice. The Centre is currently preparing to address the upsurge in violence against children, police brutality and the violation of the constitutional and rights of children. The degrading and dehumanizing conditions which children are forced to endure while awaiting trial, the physical abuse and torture of children in police custody and the detention of children in the same facility with adults require urgent and immediate remedial action.
