Safe from the street

This project aims to support sustainable community-based child protection through empowering street-connected children, families, communities and authorities to realise the rights and protection needs of children in their communities and when they need to access justice. The project empowers children in the slum areas to learn about their rights and responsibilities through Child Rights Clubs in schools, while also working with communities on building their knowledge and capacity on child rights and protection so local authorities, teachers and parents are able to raise awareness on these areas and make an informed response to any forms of child abuse. Legal, psychosocial and reintegration support is also given to children and youth in conflict with the law in the Juvenile Justice System, while building the capacity of the Juvenile Justice System stakeholders to ensure the best interest of the child within the system.
