[UNICEF Bangladesh @UNICEFBD]

Last week, UNICEF Representative in 🇧🇩, Rana Flowers, met Hon'ble Chief Justice of 🇧🇩, Dr. Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed, to emphasize the importance of placing child justice at the centre of ongoing reforms, as 🇧🇩 prepares to establish an independent Supreme Court Secretariat.

[UNICEF Bangladesh @UNICEFBD]

This is a pivotal opportunity to build a justice system that protects every child, ensuring fairness, dignity and meaningful access to justice. UNICEF stands committed to support Bangladesh in advancing a system where every child is heard, safeguarded and given a fair chance. 💙

[UNICEF Bangladesh @UNICEFBD]

.@UNICEF appreciates Gina Tricot for their continued commitment to children in Bangladesh. Together, we are promoting community-based childcare, supporting working mothers, and helping young children receive the care, nutrition, and early learning they need to thrive.

Today is Johan Floderus’ 33rd birthday. When we last celebrated as colleagues and friends, two years ago, he spoke of his dream to work in Iran and support EU projects for the Iranian people. Since 511 days, he is illegally detained in Evin, Tehran. #FreeJohanFloderus

@APoemADay365 @RichardBentall Thank you! Had looked through the regulation but not spotted the defitinions in art 2.5. Will have fun explaining that series of tweets to the next Schengen border guard we encounter..

[Natasha Ryan🇺🇳🇪🇺🇸🇪 @nc_ryan]

@APoemADay365 @RichardBentall Useful, is there a source for this? Was at an EU airport in July (no egates) & official at EU line refused to take me (EU), UK husband together (& no one else in the EU line). Non-EU line incredibly long, we almost missed our flight (despite arriving @ airport 3 hrs in advance).

The world is dealing with various crises, but against all this, are other stories of hope & possibility saying "another way is possible."❤️

Here is why it’s time to #ShiftThePower – & why you should join us in Bogotá for the #ShiftThePower Global Summit! https://t.co/wJFXSpPsgW

"..one-third of households do not have a hand washing facility with soap and water and nearly one-quarter still have no toilet at home. In addition 58% of schools have handwashing facilities and less than two thirds of health care facilities have adequate hand hygiene facilities*

A training that took 2 years to pull off due to COVID finally came together! Great to have these important stakeholders together to work for the strengthened protection of children in the court room #accesstojustice

[UNICEF ZIMBABWE @UNICEFZIMBABWE]

Child witnesses require special protection. Under @GlobalSpotlight, UNICEF & @child_witness is this week conducting trainings with the National Prosecuting Authority, @PoliceZimbabwe, @OMpslsw, & @JSCZim on safeguarding children and minimizing trauma during legal proceedings

[UNICEF ZIMBABWE @UNICEFZIMBABWE]

How do we equip our justice system to be more sensitive to children? Under @GlobalSpotlight w/ support from @euinzim, @child_witness is conducting trainings of court intermediaries with a focus on protection of vulnerable witnesses during legal proceedings

[Natasha Ryan🇺🇳🇪🇺🇸🇪 @nc_ryan]

What factors make a witness vulnerable and how do we best protect vulnerable witnesses? Thrilled to have @child_witness strengthen the response to vulnerable witnesses this week - with court intermediaries, an integral stakeholder #GBV #accesstojustice @UNICEFZIMBABWE @JSCZim

In 2010, 43% of girls 13-17 reported that their 1st incident of sexual intercourse was unwanted.

Thanks to UNICEF and the Spotlight Initiative, @PoliceZimbabwe now boasts of a state-of-the-art Forensic DNA Lab to assist in solving SGBV crimes and seeking justice for our girls

[Natasha Ryan🇺🇳🇪🇺🇸🇪 @nc_ryan]

Proud to be part of the team that delivered this important innovation to Zimbabwe today, strengthening the criminal justice system for the survivors it serves - in increasing prosecution of sexual offences using DNA analysis technology #accesstojustice

After 18 months of online meetings, great to see our partners in the Victim Friendly System gathered at the Tredgold court yesterday. Regardless of outcome in a case, a justice system must be sensitive to the survivors it serves #accesstojustice

In Byo District @ the Tregold Magistrates Court, under the Child Protection Fund, access to justice #ForEveryChild in conflict and in contact with the law, including a Victim Friendly System is being supported w/ funding from @FCDOGovUK, @SwissDevCoop

Over two years since the inception of our technical assistance to @MoJLPA on the child justice bill, it has been adopted by Cabinet. Exciting to see this come to fruition after intense consultations, on grassroots and technical levels #childjustice @kudzai_jiri

[UNICEF ZIMBABWE @UNICEFZIMBABWE]

A child as young as seven who commits a crime in Zimbabwe🇿🇼 can face criminal charges, and if facing a prison sentence, they are likely to be placed in a prison together with adults.
