    "content": "In relation to age, I urge the Attorney-General to hasten the bringing of amendments to the Children Act so that we have the counterpart relating to children which is called “diversion”. This is because many children who go through the justice system are actually in need of care and protection of the law and yet we bring them under the justice system as though they are criminals. However, when we do diversion, which is a system that is practised in developed countries and developing countries like South Africa, we do not have to subject these children to the justice system. Through diversion, which is similar, we can minimise trauma in children. We can do this by amending the Children Act or by bringing a substantive law, which is the Child Justice Law like has been done in South Africa."
