How We Work

To eliminate all forms of violence against children, especially girls, the program categorizes them into four groups.
 

• Abuse of Children at Home and in the Community

• Abuse of Children in Commercial Settings

• Abuse of Children under Culturally Sanctioned Practices

• Abuse of Children in Digital Space

Justice must result in closure for victims and their families, reformation of perpetrators, and deterrence for society. Access to Justice works to achieve holistic justice, which includes:
 

• prevention of crime

• protection against crime

• timely prosecution of perpetrators

•  conviction

• rehabilitation of survivors and families

• participation of survivors in the justice process.

The program also strengthens civil society by supporting grassroots organizations to build and enhance their capacity to support their communities and survivors, and provides technical support in partnership with relevant Government agencies.

Our theory of change and child-focused model

The Access to Justice program fights for justice to bring about the behavioral and systemic change required for a lasting, sustainable impact on child protection issues - child marriage, child trafficking, child labor, and child sexual abuse including online - through awareness and legal deterrence. Ultimately, the program aims to ensure every child lives in freedom and safety, and completes 12 years of quality, public education. The needs of children, their families, and their communities are central to our work as demonstrated in our model, and the program is built from the ground up.
