The Chief Justice, Mrs Georgina Wood has bemoaned the increasing incidence of worst forms of child labour and trafficking in the country.Worst forms of child trafficking and child labour contribute to the worsening situation of infant and child mortality as well as illiteracy in the country, she said.Mrs Georgina Wood was said this in a speech read for her at a day’s seminar on worst forms of child labour and child trafficking for Superior Court Judges.The seminar was organized by the Judicial Service in collaboration with International Cocoa Initiative and the Future Resource Development (FURDEV).The Chief Justice said, “When children do not go to school, they are already denied the life skills they need to be productive, self supporting adults.”She said child labour and child trafficking also breed criminals in the society.Mrs Georgina Wood consequently stressed the need for perpetrators of the crime to “be seen as traitors and saboteurs of national progress.”
