When children suffer unspeakable violence from terrorists, it’s a crime that shocks the conscience of humanity. And there must be accountability.
To advance justice for children in contexts of insecurity, UNODC🇳🇬 held a validation workshop for prosecutors from the BAY states.
#STRIVEJuvenile 🇳🇬 brought together Borno, Adamawa and Yobe State-level Committees for the Protection of Children in Contexts of Insecurity to consolidate policy guidance for the full operationalization of the Nigeria Call to Action #SeeTheChild#ENDVAC#YPC@EU_FPI
Young people play a vital role in peace & reconciliation, and must be empowered to do so in a safe way.
The mentorship workshop with UNODC🇳🇬’s Youth Peace Champions from Borno, Yobe & Adamawa equipped them to lead powerful radio, TV & community campaigns.
