Latin America
In Latin America lie some of the most dangerous cities in the world and several countries have internal conflicts. Children are exposed to violence and criminality. Terre des hommes (Tdh) supports children who got into conflict with the law, does prevention work and fights for alternatives to their detention. We support changes of laws and practices that promote a child-friendly justice and develop actions with displaced communities where children are often the first victims.
