Our intervention Child Protection We advocate for and support policy and service improvement, focusing on the implementation of the Law on Child Protection and on the provision of specialised child protection services. To achieve a fully functioning system, our team trains child protection professionals to respond to the needs of children at risk. We have developed a model of specialised services for children in street situations and established the first day care centre in Kosovo for them. Together with our partners, we empower children and their families and mobilise communities to better protect children. Children and youth in migration Poverty, exclusion, and the lack of quality services drive people to emigrate. These families and children run great risks along the way, at their destination or upon return to Kosovo. We help returned migrants to reintegrate and improve their living conditions. We encourage children to attend school and our after-school activities. We promote social inclusion of the most vulnerable groups, including Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities. As a country of origin, transit and destination of human trafficking victims, Kosovo plays an important role in tackling this problem. We work on strengthening the national and transnational mechanisms of cooperation in the Balkans to identify victims and potential victims of trafficking. Access to Justice The new Juvenile Justice Code in Kosovo requires the application of an integrated protection system for children in conflict with the law and promoted diversion measures. In collaboration with institutions, we are linking child protection and juvenile justice by developing administrative instructions deriving from Juvenile Justice Code and the new Law on Child Protection to ensure that children in conflict with the law are better protected. Our team trains professionals who work with children in conflict with the law and organises exchanges of knowledge and experience between governmental institutions in Kosovo and various European countries.
