Juvenile Justice

Defence for Children International believes that no child belongs behind bars. The deprivation of liberty should be used only as the very last resort in dealing with children in conflict with the law.

During its International General Assembly in 2008, Defence for Children International reaffirmed its longstanding commitment to juvenile justice as its priority issue at the international level.

Call in support of flood affected children in Pakistan

An exceptional flood affected Pakistan recently, the worst over the past 80 years. It has devastated the entire infrastructure and it may lead to very serious economic problems in the coming days as humanitarian workers are currently facing troubles in the relief activities. Indeed international community is extending its fullest support in the matter, but the scale of destruction and displacement is beyond count and control.

SPARC-DCI associated member in Pakistan is involved through its District Child Rights Committees in rescue activities where still flood is ramming into poorly constructed houses/huts as well in relief activities where the flood has left nothing behind it. With the help of some donors they have established medical and relief camps in some districts, and willing to expand the activities in other districts. SPARC is also trying to spare their all energies and resources to do as much as they can do for flood affected millions of children.

There is indeed a dire need of assistance from partners and friends at this moment. Please, lets all help children of Pakistan and their families! For contact: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ;
