The law in Seychelles needs to be stricter for child sex offenders. These people need to be put away for life in prison. There are reported cases almost every week on our small islands and who knows how many unreported. Please sign this as our plea for the law to be amended. Help keep our children safe.
The frequency of these reports continues to highlight a pressing necessity for legislative reform in our nation. I am currently reaching out to legal advocates to discuss the potential pathways for amending our existing statutes.

I completely agree. Sex offenders, especially those targeting children are not being dealt with severely enough. Their names and addresses should also be made public.

Sexual crimes to a child so not be tolerated in any civilized world and those who do it should be lock up for life so that they would never be able to hurt another child again

The current Seychelles legislation stipulates that a convicted child sex offender will get a maximum sentence of 20 years, but life ONLY if they commit it a second time within 10 years. There are rumors that they are released only after 5 or even 2 years. So where is the fear? And do we even known the names of these people? Who are the people convicted in the last five years? where are they now?

Supporting the plea for harsher sentences against child sex offenders and investment in healing of the victims and the offenders. Stop the cycle!
