PRESENTATION OF TERRE DES HOMMES Terre des hommes (Tdh), the leading Swiss child relief non-profit organization, is active in 35 countries with its programs in mother and child health, migration, juvenile justice, child labour and humanitarian emergencies**.** Since 1996, Tdh has been working on juvenile justice in numerous countries across the globe. In 2016, Tdh-s juvenile justice activities in twenty countries trained 15,000 professionals in juvenile justice and supported 21,000 children in conflict with the law. Built on 20 years of experience and capitalization of best practices, Tdh-s actions are based on a child-friendly approach to justice, which means that justice is adapted to children, to their maturity and level of development, and on a restorative approach, which seeks to repair the damage caused to the individuals, the affected parties and the wider society, and which requires active participation of the child offender, the victim and other involved members to resolve the conflict. The overall goal and strategic vision of Tdh juvenile justice programme is that by 2020, Tdh has contributed significantly and sustainably to improving access to formal and informal justice systems by children in Europe. Tdh plans to contribute to developing and improving justice systems by enhancing the restorative approach and in particular by promoting alternatives to trials, detention and specialized custodial care for children. To that end, Tdh has developed a Theory of Change with 4 pillars for Justice: Children and youth in conflict with the law benefit from non-custodial measures - Tdh will work closely with professionals across the chain of justice, including police, prosecutors and judges, and ensure that the necessary legislation is in place, to enhance the use of diversion and alternatives to detention. Girls, boys and youth in detention are treated with dignity and prepared for reintegration - Tdh will work with staff in detention facilities and professional training institutions for justice professionals more widely, in order to mitigate the harmful effects of deprivation of liberty on children and shift the culture of detention facilities to decrease violence, optimize rehabilitation, and reduce recidivism. Prevention & reintegration services for children are improved - Tdh will work with families, community-based organisations and community leaders, to nurture a compassionate and supportive environment to ensure that violence against children and committed by children is reduced and that children are reintegrated into their communities. Synergies in contexts of legal pluralism enrich children-s experiences of restorative justice - Tdh will support coordination amongst formal justice actors, both secular and religious, and customary justice actors, including indigenous actors, to promote recognition of positive restorative practices and better decision-making that upholds the best interests of the child. Tdh-s work in Access to Justice contributes directly to Sustainable Development Goal N°16, namely 16.2 reducing violence against children and 16.3 reinforcing access to justice. It also endeavors to protect the rights of children in conflict with the law (articles 37 and 40 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child) and of children victims (article 19), as well as the involvement of the family and the community in the development of children (article 5), and the protection of the rights to non- discrimination (article 2), to have their best interest taken into consideration (article 3), to life survival and development (article 2), right to participation in all matters affecting them (article 12).
