The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 places great emphasis on Access to Justice by all, specifically, it provides for rights the Child extensively in Article 53 and reiterates importance of the Child’s best interest consideration in every matter concerning the child. The same is provided for in the Children’s Act of 2001. Access to justice as pertains to Children’s remains a critical tool of enhancing safeguards to child rights as espoused in various legal instruments. It is for this reason that the KNCHR has designated a specific child rights focal point to enhance mainstreaming of child rights programming and ensure swift action to resolve child rights violations and interventions.
