Greece
In Greece, the needs amongst refugee and asylum-seeking children and families remain high. Terre des hommes (Tdh) aims to protect them from danger and to ensure equal access to their rights. We strengthen the child protection system for both migrant and Greek children and we promote child-friendly restorative justice approaches for children in contact with the law. We offer opportunities that encourage children and young people to express their views and influence decision-making.

"We support children with protection concerns and their families in a multidisciplinary manner, which includes education, medical, legal, accommodation, and psychosocial support services, in order to build their strengths."
