Every day, we fight for children like Nader, not only to keep them out of detention, but to ensure they get the resources & support they need to live happy, healthy lives and prevent future conflict with the law.
Thank you @Unicef_Tunisie for your support.

Grâce au soutien de l’UNICEF 🇹🇳 et @theilf, Nader, 17 ans, a bénéficié d'une aide légale gratuite qui lui a permis d'éviter le placement dans un centre correctionnel grâce au mécanisme de médiation.

"There are different communities in our specific countries - but the patterns in the laws and practices used against them are similar. I see a commonality and a correlation in the injustice." @shikharol @theilf #DecrimSA #DecrimSL2025 #DecrimPoverty @DecrimPS
