Details

As noted by the participants, in cooperation with UNICEF and partners, important results for children in the justice sector have been achieved. However, at the same time, the war has exacerbated the problems faced by children in contact with the law and created new challenges.

Currently, the most vulnerable categories of children need help. These are children who have experienced or witnessed violence, children who have committed offenses for various reasons, and children who have been left without parental care or otherwise come into contact with the justice system. Therefore, cooperation with partners is focused on three main areas that are becoming increasingly relevant:

• combating and preventing violence against children;

• improving, together with the judicial system, the procedures for adoption, restoration and deprivation of parental rights, and ensuring the interests and rights of children in family disputes and civil proceedings;

• ensuring the protection of the rights of children in conflict with the law, their further rehabilitation and prevention of juvenile delinquency in the future.
