When a child becomes a victim of abuse, it is not only the child's body and mind that are scarred—the conscience of the state is wounded as well. Yet when that same child is forced to spend years climbing courthouse steps in search of justice, repeatedly recounting the traumatic incident or facing the accused in court, the justice system itself, however unintentionally, becomes part of the abuse. Delayed justice does not merely postpone the conclusion of a case; it delays a child's return to a normal life. Child abuse cases, therefore, cannot continue to move at the pace of ordinary litigation.

In Bangladesh, justice often means years of waiting. The same reality exists even at the country’s highest court. The long corridors of the Supreme Court have witnessed countless sighs of litigants, repeated hearing dates, legal fees, and the exhausting journeys of people travelling from districts to the capital.
