the Luanda Province and the juvenile administration in Luanda does not have adequate trained human and financial resources. Moreover, the Committee has observed from the State Party report that there are no rehabilitation centers for children who are detained and that children are detained with adults. The Committee is of the view that lack of implementation of the Juvenile Court Law and the lack of separate facilities to accommodate children in conflict with the law is contrary to the principles of the Charter which urge for prevention and diversion measures as well as provision of legal aid, alternatives to custodial sentences, and separation of children in detention facilities. Therefore, the Committee recommends that the State Party: a. Puts in place preventive measures by identifying causes that lead to juvenile delinquency and addressing the known factors such as poverty and poor parental guidance; b. Establishes juvenile courts in all provinces to ensure that children are not subjected to the regular court proceedings and appropriate alternative diversion measures are implemented; c. Provides free legal and any appropriate assistance to children in conflict or in contact with the law; d. Ensures that non-custodial sentences are applied as a matter of priority; e. Establishes rehabilitation centers for children who are sentenced to custodial penalties; f. Ensues that children are not detained with adults; and g. Provides adequate budgetary allocation for the juvenile justice and conducts training for law enforcement and the judiciary on juvenile case administrations. Children of imprisoned caregivers 45. The Committee notes with appreciation that the State Party provides prenatal and antenatal care for pregnant women in prison. The Committee however notes from the State Party report that children below the age of 3 might be imprisoned with their mothers. The Committee recommends that the State Party provides non-custodial sentences to expectant mothers and mothers of infants. In cases where custodial sentence is mandatory, the Committee encourages the State Party not to imprison children with their mothers. Mothers who are detained with their children should be provided with alternative institutions. For further guidance on the protection of children of imprisoned caregivers, the Committee encourages the State Party to make reference to its General Comment No 1 on article 30 of the African Children’s Charter. Child Labour and exploitation 46. The State Party report indicates that any kind of labour is prohibited for children of mandatory school age.
