📢Today we are launching these 4 #toolkits about child rights strategic litigation and corresponding animations: acrisl.org/resources. They were made with our #Child and #Youth Advisory Group, who are #children and #young people based in the #UK and #SouthAfrica.
.@ACRiSL_Project 's submissions to the #UN Committee on the Rights of the Child on its pending General Comment No. 27 on children’s right to #accesstojustice and to an #effectiveremedy ⬇️ acrisl.org/resources
They argue that it is vital that the #GC27 should make clear that where strategic litigation is used to ensure the right to #accesstojustice and #effectiveremedies for children, such litigation must be carried out in a way that is consistent with the rights set out in the #UNCRC.
