Earlier this year, the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development announced that a sex offenders registry has been set up, but there has been little information on how it will work. We speak to Sharmila Sekaran from Voice of The Children to find out how the registry works in our criminal justice system and what the implications are for offenders.
