This Advocacy Strategies Training Manual aims to provide users with some practical tips for conducting advocacy for children’s rights in juvenile justice. The manual is not reinventing the wheel; rather, it adapts and makes best use of the good practices already developed for child rights advocacy and illustrates how they can be used to ensure follow-up to the Committee on the Rights of the Child’s General Comment No.10 on Children’s Rights in Juvenile Justice.
The guidelines and step-by-step examples in the manual are taken directly from the field, making them easier to understand and apply in practice. Specifically, we are pleased to have been able to include a number of case studies and examples directly taken from the practical experiences of DCI’s national sections.
