Most of the adult respondents interviewed in Harare showed knowledge of the law. The children however were not aware of the laws that protect them and queried mainly the trial procedure, medical affidavits and way they are sentenced. The sentences were too long for the children. 3.3. Resources Most government departments highlighted that they are constrained in delivering justice to children. They do not have transport to carry out their work and this sometimes results in delays in delivering justice. Such delays contribute to the public losing confidence in the justice delivery system. Organisations working with children are also facing financial constraints hence are not operating to full capacity for example Girl Child Network in Rusape was not operating at the time of the interviews. There are no alternative safe places for child victims and survivors of abuse resulting in them continuing to live in the same abusive environment. Juveniles are also kept with adults in prison while waiting for trial or serving their sentences. A visit to Rusape prison revealed eight (8) cases in which the juveniles were just mixed with the adults. Six (6) juveniles are awaiting trial for rape, one (1) for theft while one is serving for rape. At Harare Remand, there is a separate juvenile section and at Harare Central Prison, juveniles are placed together with mental patients. Some of the staff members are not well trained for to carry out their duties. For instance, the police are usually rotated resulting in situations where those who have not been trained in handling victims of sexual abuse deal with the cases. When the researchers visited the One Stop Centre in Rusape there was no police officer operating their office there. During the interviews with regional magistrates at Harare Magistrates Court, only one court was sitting as a Victim Friendly Court and Regional Magistrates had to rotate to use this court. The other Victim Friendly Court was not being used as the equipment was down. This affects the swiftness of cases hence the delay in completion of cases. Both the Civil and Criminal courts had no access to internet and library services. This affected both Rusape and Harare. 4
