Voices of World Leaders on Child Justice
Leaders across governments, international NGOs and wider civil society all raise their voices to call for greater action, accountability, and meaningful participation in our efforts to create child-centred justice systems.
These leaders contributed to the World Congress on Justice with Children through these videos, developed jointly with the SDG 16+ Pathfinders for Justice, Justice for Children project coordinated by the Institute for Inspiring Children’s Futures at the University of Strathclyde, with the World Congress on Justice with Children and the Mexican Supreme Court of Justice.
