Fencing and restorative justice, youth protection and empowerment

ongoing

The number of children and young victims of forced labor and sexual exploitation is increasing around the world. All this violence threatens their education and is harmful to their physical and mental development. Senegal is not spared from this scourge.The ERA project aims to tackle this issue and promote a psycho-educational ecosystem based on the Fencing and Reparative Justice method. The objective is to foster life-skills education and provide conditions for positive personal development that helps empower young people and promotes gender equality. This educational initiative requires building the capacities of educators and prison officers dealing with minors. A Fencing and Restorative Justice Academy has been set up for this purpose, with the aim of creating a knowledge community around a unique educational initiative.These good practices will seek to make actors from institutions and civil society aware that innovative and sustainable solutions can be promoted to address the needs for protection and education of minors. This is what the ERA project is all about!
