The sexual exploitation of children, both males and females, has occurred throughout history. However it has only been in the last few decades that it has been officially acknowledged with the relevant issues now beginning to be addressed. One of the key issues is the experiences of child complainants of sexual abuse in the justice system. This conference seeks to provide academics, researchers, lawyers, policy makers and practitioners from areas such as child protection, family law, community organisations and social welfare with a forum to discuss issues associated with child sexual abuse and the appropriate justice response and to identify best practice, share knowledge and develop strategies to address the relevant issues. Papers cover children and the legal system; child protection and Family Court disputes; child witnesses in the criminal justice system; alternative models for prosecuting offenders; and treatment programs for child sex offenders.

The Republic of Botswana, under the leadership of his Excellency Ian Khama (main picture), has taken strides beyond verbal solidarity, but rather has also embarked on actionable offensives of sending clear messages to the region that they do not recognize the illegitimate regime of President Robert Mugabe and those of like mind. In the week which has just passed, the Ian Khama administration deported two Zanu PF sympathizers, Caesar Zvayi, the former features and political editor of the state mouth peace, The Herald and Gabriel Chaibva, former spokesperson of the Arthur Mutambara led MDC. The administration argues that it will not hesitate to stand by the truth even if the truth is going to hurt those who have become strangers to the truth. The Botswana President also boycotted the just ended SADC summit which was held in South Africa on the grounds that they can not share the same platform with an administration that masterminded and effected an election campaign which left hundreds killed, thousands limping, many displaced and houses torched down in acts of arson.
