🌍Happy International Day of Families! For some, family is the most important thing in the world. But not everyone is able to see their family as much as they would want to. “Family is love, inspiration, and tranquility.” Rama and other children and young people from all around the world share what family means to them. And what does family mean to you? #InternationalDayofFamilies #family #international Terre des hommes - Egypt Terre des hommes - MENA Terre des hommes - Myanmar Terre des hommes - Bangladesh

🗞️ Our new seminal report on child rights and customary justice is out! This report is based on an in-depth study of 3,894 children’s cases dealt with by customary justice systems in Lebanon, Jordan, the Palestinian Territories (West Bank, and the Gaza Strip), Afghanistan, Egypt, and Burkina Faso. The report explores the complex ways in which customary or informal justice systems impact the children who participate in them, either as victims or perpetrators. Contemporary approaches to child-centered justice point to the need to engage with customary justice systems. The ability to access justice for all, including children, is a crucial component of securing peaceful, just, and inclusive societies There is now an unprecedented ’momentum’ to reinforce customary justice systems within the Child Rights’ and Sustainable Development Goal 16’ agendas’ This seminal report has been made possible through the partnership between Terre des hommes and the Disrupting Violence Beacon at Griffith University.

It's crucial that we collectively stand against any action that threatens innocent lives. This war against children must end now! #ceasefire #ceasefirenow #gaza
