Cairo: Assistant to the Minister of Justice for Human Rights, Women and Children Affairs Sally El Saeidi announced the introduction of child-friendly courts designed to provide a safe judicial environment for children, whether they are victims or witnesses. Speaking at the 'Safe Childhood in a Safe Homeland' seminar organized by the Interior Ministry at the Police Academy, El Saeidi said three child-friendly courts have already been inaugurated in Giza, Qalyubiya and Assiut, while new judicial units are ready to open in Alexandria and the New Capital's Justice City.
