Youth for Youth Justice is a new initiative, launched in the summer of 2019, that connects youth globally and improves juvenile access to justice. The competition, launched in 2020, selected applicants aged between 15 and 25 years. These Youth Justice Champions are the winners of the inaugural Youth for Youth Justice Competition, and they submitted impressive projects which will improve juvenile access to justice in their countries. The winners are from 3 continents and 12 countries, namely Benin, Burundi, Cameroon, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Rwanda, Thailand, Togo and Zimbabwe. The IBJ Youth movement is made by Youth, for Youth and is unlocking the changemaker potential of young people, helping them to enact change and support children and juveniles in prison.
