The main objective of the project is to contribute to better protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of children involved in judicial proceedings, in accordance with international standards.
Achieved Results / Expected Outputs
Within the scope of the project, it is envisaged to enhance the institutional capacity for the administration of the child justice system and to improve the policy framework, to strengthen cooperation mechanisms between the child protection and justice systems, and to develop child-responsive execution practices.
In this context, the following activities are planned:

- Increasing institutional and professional capacity of the child justice system to better develop and implement community-based restorative diversion measures for children in contact with the law
- Enhancing alternative measures to ensure that detention is used as a last resort and for the shortest time possible for children in conflict with the law through the improvement of child-specific alternatives by developing child-responsive enforcement practices
