P a g e | 17 The CPW Act was a statutory instrument which was only printed in English for its first two years. English is only one of the two official languages of Lesotho and is the lesser spoken. Sesotho translations were printed in late 2013 but are not full texts of the Act. They are instead condensed versions which focus on the primary provisions only. Even where community members are aware that an act constitutes an offence, they are often unaware of how or where to report it. Tied with this is the stigma associated with reporting a fellow member of a very close community, which often prevents people from lodging a complaint. Community members are also accustomed to reporting issues to their village Chief. This can be problematic where the Chief has a personal relationship with the accused – not unheard of in small communities – and the Chief chooses to deal with the issue himself rather than make the appropriate referrals. Community attitudes towards children in Lesotho are such that they are to be seen and not heard. There is therefore resistance to the idea of children having rights and being able to make complaints. Even child witness testimony is not weighted the same as an adult, which is especially problematic in cases of child sexual assault and rape. 2.6 Measures taken or envisaged to disseminate the report on implementation of the Charter The preparation process of the report has been participatory, with involvement of partners of GoL, stakeholders and Government Ministries, thus allowing ownership of the document. The submitted report will be presented to the Parliamentary Cabinet of Lesotho. It is envisaged that once the report has been submitted to the African Union, the document will be reproduced for wide dissemination to Government Ministries, coordinating structures such as NOCC and DCPT's, NGO's & CSO's, donors and technical partners engaged in child related activities. Lack of financial resources and prior allocated budget may hinder this process.
