Terms of Reference: Child and Youth Advisory Group 2025

The World Congress on Justice With Children is shaped in collaboration with a group of ambitious child and youth representatives with knowledge and experience in child justice systems. They come from different parts of the world and together make the Child and Youth Advisory Group.

The purpose of this Advisory Group is to gather child and youth participants from all regions of the world in order to explore diverse views of the problems faced by children and young people across various justice systems globally, and advocate for changes. The 2021 Congress involved engagement with children and youth to help shape the Congress and act as a voice for justice with children. The 2025 Congress aims to build on this engagement by involving children and young people through the Committee in shaping the activities of the Congress. We make sure that children and the youth’s voices count!
