Advancing child-centred justice systems
Collaborative spaces where ideas become action.
The Child Justice Lab promotes justice systems that uphold the rights, dignity, and best interests of every child. Through research, policy innovation, and collaboration, the Lab supports the development of fair, participatory, and right-based systems that respond to the realities children face when in contact with justice systems, whether as victims, witnesses, or alleged offenders.
