H. Special Protection Measures Child labour 45. The Committee appreciates the fact that the Employment Act No. 11 of 2007 defines a child as a person below the age of 18 and that it forbids employers from employing children. It also commends the measures the State Party has taken to combat child labour such as the removal of more than 8000 children from child labour, and the establishment of child labour committees in the counties. However, the Committee is concerned that child labour is still prevalent and that there are more than 1 million children who perform labour. Child labour impedes the right to education, play, leisure and the right to the best attainable standard of health. Considering the severe consequences of child labour, the Committee encourages the State Party to continue taking all the necessary measures to reduce child labour, to invent new feasible mechanisms of fighting child labour and to address the root causes of child labour. The Committee recommends the State Party to further regulate child labour and enforce the law both in the formal and informal sector. Sexual exploitation 46. With regard to sexual tourism, the Committee is aware that there is a high rate of sexual tourism. The Committee encourages the State Party t to strengthen its efforts to prevent and eliminate sexual tourism. 40% of the perpetrators appear to be domestic people. Therefore, the State Party should improve law enforcement, and elevate the level of accountability of hotels and tour guides by adopting code of conduct. The State Party should devise a system in which such actors will be held accountable; they should not be left entirely to self-regulate. 47. The Committee urges the State Party to take measures to combat the practice of forced marriage to perpetrators of sexual violence. There are also instances of sexual abuse of girls by teachers. The Committee recommends early identification, investigation, prosecution and conviction of perpetrators. For its informed action, the State should have disaggregated data on victims and perpetrators of sexual abuse. Children in conflict with the law 48. The Committee commends the State Party for establishing specialized courts and child protection units in all the counties. The Committee encourages the State Party to continue to take actions towards a child friendly justice system and recommend the State Party to consult Guidelines on Action for Children in the Justice System in Africa. The Committee moreover recommends that measures should be taken for the separation of children from adults in pre-trial and trial 12
