EU launches “Reinforcing the Child Welfare and Protection System in Georgia” project

On 18 February, the EU announced the launch of a new initiative in Georgia aimed at reinforcing child welfare reform in the country and ensuring the provision of quality alternative care for children.

This support will be provided within a new three-year EU-funded project entitled “Reinforcing the Child Welfare and Protection System in Georgia”. It will bring together the expertise, best practices and aspirations of World Vision Georgia, which implements the project, and the Government of Georgia to address the needs of vulnerable children deprived of parental care, or at risk of being so, by ensuring appropriate and quality alternative care.

“This project follows up on this reform, with a focus on ensuring vulnerable children deprived of parental care receive appropriate and quality alternative care,” said Carl Hartzell, EU Ambassador to Georgia. “To obtain an effective and strong child-oriented system that can provide immediate and adequate responses to children in need all across the country, will only be possible if all key state and non-state actors, experts and professionals are involved. In this context, I very much welcome the interest displayed on the side of the Georgian Orthodox Church to actively participate in his project.”

IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS

DATED : 18.02.2019

‘Rechter had zich uit zaak moeten terugtrekken vanwege privé-contact met Joris Demmink’

'Judge should have withdrawn from case because of private contact with Joris Demmink'

A judge from the Hague is under fire because of his role in an alleged abuse case in which former top official of justice Joris Demmink is also mentioned. A photo shows that the judge Jan Wolter Wabeke had a private contact with Demmink. According to professor Theo de Roos, the judge should therefore have withdrawn from the case.

Wabeke said to the radio program that he did not know Demmink at all. Later he changed that statement, when it turned out that Argos owns a private photo from the nineties in which Demmink can be seen at Wabeke's home.

In a reaction, Demmink's lawyer Harro Knijff confirms that Wabeke and Demmink met "a number of times, also privately, in the nineties."

According to professor of criminal and procedural law Theo de Roos, Wabeke had to change due to private contact. De Roos, himself a former counselor, says in Argos: "I would not worry about dealing with such a case. Absolutely not."

HYDERABAD: Dear government, why do parents who want to adopt a child and children who need a home have to wait for three years to find each other? That is the pertinent question that Guzaarish: A Significant Appeal, the 20-minute short film based on child adoption screened on Thursday at Prasad Laboratories, Banjara Hills, all about. “The film is based on a true incident,” says Abdur Rehman, Founder of Helping 2 Hands AR Foundation, the NGO which was instrumental in making the film for the cause of child adoption.

“It’s about a woman who has been suffering from depression and anxiety because she is unable to conceive. The couple wants to adopt a child, but the process is tedious and involves a lot of red tapes, thus pushing the wait time to a few years. The couple does get to adopt a child but they sit down to appeal to the Indian government to make the child adoption process faster and better,” Rehman adds about the short film directed by Rakesh Gondle.

'Lisa' was fifteen years old when she reported rape by her father and other men in the New Scheveningen groves in The Hague. She mentioned the names of lawyers, a CEO of a large company and a senior official of the Ministry of Justice. In December, Argos revealed that the Public Prosecution Service ignored important support certificates and dismissed the case. Hoffmann's corporate investigation found child pornography on computers in use by father. Gynecologists who had studied Lisa medically discovered that she had been pregnant and gave birth to a baby. After the broadcast, Argos received a photo that sheds new light on the role of a counselor of the court in The Hague. He was the chairman in the Article 12 case that Lisa and her mother called for to enforce prosecution. Also in Argos:

International Humanitarian Law and Child Rights Competition, 2019 by NALSAR University of Law and UNICEF [April 12-13]

About the competition:

The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the first international convention on child rights was signed in 1989 and has led to great progress in safeguarding human rights of the children.

It has resulted in major changes in laws to ensure better protection for children and has even altered the manner in which international organizations see their work for children. The convention has also resulted in better protection of children in situations of armed conflict.

To mark the 30th year of CRC, NALSAR’s Centre for Child and Youth Justice, in collaboration with UNICEF, is organizing this competition to encourage students to deliberate on the intersection of International Humanitarian Law and Child Rights.

The format of the competition:

De Kansencirkel, de beste start voor ieder kind

The Opportunity Circle, the best start for every child

In Scotland the development and opportunities of children are central. They focus on an inclusive society and embed this in their legislation, education, the community and in culture. GIRFEC MODEL In 2016, Scotland introduced the concept of "Getting it right for every child" (GIRFEC), to be used in policy development and daily inclusive practice for everyone who works with and around children, young people and their parents. The GIRFEC model forms a framework that is used in youth policy and the development and support of children, their parents, families and schools. In order to see together with the child what is needed to get the best out of his or her development and to offer tools for achieving this. CHANCE CIRCLE The Netherlands Youth Institute developed the Dutch Opportunities Circle in 2018 in collaboration with the Association for Youth and the Tilburg region. Central to the Circle of Opportunities is the well-being and well-being of children to give them the best start in life. This involves working with eight development areas as the basis for children's development. 1. Active 2. Respected 3. Responsible 4. Belonging 5. Safe 6. Healthy 7. Deployment 8. Nurtured To shape the best pedagogical vision and practice together, the Opportunity Circle continues to develop. However, the current version can already be downloaded for use within organizations or teams to work together on an inclusive environment. In the coming year, various young people, parents and professionals will also be working with the Opportunity Circle to make it an even smarter tool.
