Justice and security actors from the Somali Regional State are attending a training workshop on “Access to Inclusive Justice for Refugee Children in Ethiopia.”

The training aims to strengthen the understanding, knowledge and capacity of trainees to help them better respond to the unique justice needs of refugee children.

Through experience sharing, discussions and technical sessions, participants are exploring ways to ensure that refugee children have access to friendly, inclusive and rights-based justice services.

The workshop also seeks to deepen their awareness on legal and institutional frameworks governing refugee protection in Ethiopia, while reinforcing coordinated efforts among justice and security institutions to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugee children.

By equipping frontline actors with the necessary knowledge and tools, the initiative contributes to strengthening protection systems and advancing equitable access to justice for the most vulnerable members of the refugee community.

The training workshop, being held in Jigjiga city, is organized by Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS) with the financial assistance of UNICEF.
