Youth Justice Project
About Youth Justice
Funded by the Swedish Mission Council (SMC/SIDA) in partnership with YMCA KFUK/KFUM Sweden, the Youth Justice Project aims to strengthen Madagascar’s juvenile justice system through preventive and restorative approaches. Through education, mentorship, and community engagement, the project equips young people with the skills and resilience needed to make positive life choices. It ensures fair treatment for those in conflict with the law and supports their reintegration into society. By collaborating with local authorities and civil society, the initiative advocates for policy reforms and sustainable solutions.
