We were honored to participate in the 5th World Congress on Justice With Children 2025.
Where leaders, youth, and advocates united to reimagine child-centered justice.
Report launch: Children in Pretrial Detention, An Unresolved Global Crisis.
We launched the 2nd edition of our global report.
We led a powerful conversation on reducing excessive pretrial detention, exploring international strategies, and urging global action.
- 161 countries analyzed.
- Key data, setbacks, and solutions.
- The report documents that too many children still spend excessive amounts of time waiting for trial in detention centers around the world.
Art as resistance: “Reflections of Dignity”
We showcased our exhibit, which was created by youth deprived of liberty. Through art, they shared their truths, identities, and resilience.
Thank you to our co-sponsors, the University of Minnesota Human Rights Program and the Institute for Global Studies.
