    Pakistan’s legal system isn’t built for children. This clinic is trying to change that

    Pakistan’s criminal justice system historically treats children as adults, but a new Child-Friendly Medicolegal Clinic in Sindh aims to address this by providing child-specific protocols for medical-legal evidence and psychosocial support. The clinic, part of the Anti-Rape Crisis Cell, uses a child-friendly approach with toys and tailored examinations, reflecting efforts to recognize violence against children as a public health crisis. Sahil, a nonprofit, reported 2,003 child sexual abuse cases in 2022, though underreporting remains widespread.
