This article tackles the issue of the need for a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of sexually abused children in court. It highlights the problem of having children, as opposed to adults, on the witness stand due to the incompatibility of the court procedure with the sensitive nature of children. The paper discusses at length the justifications for the applicability of the RECW, or the Rule on the Examination of a Child Witness, a more child-friendly set of rules promulgated by the court and concludes with recommendations on further measures that may be undertaken to protect the rights of the Child witness.
