First Lady Sajidha Exposes the Truth: It’s Time to Fix a Broken Justice System

At the National Juvenile Justice Conference 2025, First Lady Sajidha Mohamed called for early intervention and child protection instead of punitive approaches in the Maldives' juvenile justice system, citing cases of a 14-year-old arrested for murder after 191 prior interactions with authorities and a 15-year-old abuse victim who was prosecuted. She also pointed to the country's high incarceration rate relative to neighbouring countries despite lower violent crime, urging family involvement and stronger coordination among institutions.
