The two rounds of training on the Justice for Children Training Manual, with a particular focus on refugee children in Ethiopia, conducted for Refugee Community Representatives and participants drawn from the justice, peace and security, as well as social sectors in Semera Town, have been successfully concluded.

The training, which was highly engaging and interactive, successfully achieved the objective of creating the intended awareness among participants from the relevant sectors.

The initiative was designed to strengthen the capacity of refugee communities and key stakeholders, including actors from the justice, peace and security, and social sectors, to better address issues affecting children within refugee settings.

The workshops ultimately aimed to promote child protection and enhance access to justice for children in refugee communities.

Throughout the sessions, participants gained knowledge and practical insights on legal and policy frameworks for child protection, the core principles of Justice for Children, child-friendly communication and ethical standards, case management and referral pathways, as well as community roles in preventing and responding to violence against children.

The training was organized by Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS), with financial support from UNICEF, reaffirming the commitment of both institutions to strengthening child protection systems and ensuring the well-being and rights of refugee children in Ethiopia.
