About the webinar:
The United Nations Global Study on Children Deprived of Their Liberty reported that “there are still at least 410,000 children held in detention every year in remand centres and prisons. This does not include an estimated 1 million children held every year in police custody. The study proves that detention remains the sad reality of an estimated 160,000–250,000 children in remand centres and prisons worldwide on any given day.
According to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, detention of children should be a measure of last resort, and all measures should be taken to ensure that the child’s best interests is taken into consideration. Nowadays, while legislative efforts certainly provide for alternatives to detention and restorative justice processes in various countries in Europe and worldwide, there are still too many children deprived of their liberty.
In this webinar, Terre des hommes invited two key experts Ingrid van Welzenis and Tim Chapman to discuss the benefits of alternatives to detention, the impact of community-based options and how restorative justice applied with children contribute to implementing more effective and efficient child-friendly justice processes.
