Terre des hommes

🌍 Terre des hommes is actively contributing to the important process of development of the Committee on the Rights of the Child’s General Comment No. 27 of the on Children’s Rights to Access to Justice and Effective Remedies.   "The General Comment 27 represents a very important opportunity to foster a contemporary agenda on child justice and focus on the main collective objectives for the next period. Upholding a children’s rights narrative across justice systems is of the essence. Collaboration with customary, tribal, indigenous, religious, or informal community-based justice systems is one of the priorities of the GC and Terre des hommes is leveraging its expertise on the topic to contribute to it", says Yann Colliou, PhD, Head of Access to Justice Program at Terre des hommes.   In Egypt, Lebanon, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, Romania, and Colombia, Terre des hommes is organizing consultations with stakeholders and actors who deal with children’s cases in customary, tribal, indigenous, religious, and other informal justice systems.   Check out the pictures of the consultation that took place in Assiut (Egypt) a few days ago.

🗞️ Children in prison face various forms of violence (#VAC), but we lack clarity on the extent and responses due to insufficient data collected.  Our latest European #research on VAC in #prison settings highlights critical gaps in data collection and protection for these children across the EU. To address these gaps, it is crucial to:  - Improve #datacollection systems to ensure comprehensive and consistent reporting of all forms of violence  - Adress and act upon the specific vulnerabilities of different children groups through detailed and disaggregated data  - Harmonise VAC terminology and relevant data collection and analysis practices across the EU   - Broaden the scope of reporting mechanisms to include all types of violence, not only severe physical incidents  - Provide continuous training for #prisonstaff on non-violent #conflictresolution and #childrights  - Foster collaboration among child protection agencies, #justicesystems and other relevant stakeholders By addressing these issues, we can create a safer environment for detained children and uphold their rights and dignity. #ChildProtection #ChildRights     Download file: https://lnkd.in/e_g66WMs 

⚖️ On World Day for International Justice, Terre des hommes stresses the need to strengthen efforts to achieve child-centered justice and accountability for children affected by armed conflict. As recently highlighted by UN Children and armed conflict, unprecedent figures have been recorded of children directly and indirectly targeted, including in places like Gaza, Myanmar, and Ukraine, among others.  ‘Child-centered accountability is needed more than ever. Fostering accountability of violations, abuses, and crimes against or affecting children contributes to ending impunity, reinforces the rule of law, contributes to effective prevention, and maximises the prospects of long-term peace, social cohesion and development. Collective action is urgent and should be prioritised’, says our colleague Marta Gil, Deputy Head of the Tdh Program Access to Justice.  The next World Congress on Justice with Children in 2025 will prioritise the theme ‘Justice in times of crisis’ where child-centered accountability would be at the forefront.

Targeting hospitals is a war crime. Destroying a children's hospital is inhumane. What happened yesterday in Kyiv is a tragedy for children's fundamental rights to life, safety and health. In times of conflict, it is essential to protect civilians and especially children, and to ensure health facilities are spared and can continue to provide life-saving medical care.

📅Tomorrow, the UN #HLPF2024 official side event: "Accelerating Progress to Achieve #SDG16 for Children" will be moderated by Cédric Foussard , Child Justice expert at Terre des hommes.    Register on the link below to participate online:  https://lnkd.in/e942U7cE
