In order to gain a better understanding of the experience of sexually exploited children in the criminal justice system, ECPAT International conducted this study as way to identify the special challenges child victims of sexual exploitation face when seeking access to justice and remedies. Within the context of Moldova, the study highlighted both the successes and improvements to be made in order to ensure not only access to the criminal justice system, but more specifically, to a child-friendly justice system; one that balances the rights of child victims and witnesses with those of the accused offenders and takes into account the child’s individual needs and views.
