In November 2021, at the Senior Level Meeting of the Justice Action Coalition, a Joint Action Plan was established that included a set of ten deliverables to be produced by and with partner organizations. Concluding in 2023 around HLPF and the SDG Summit, these deliverables reflect a shared research agenda of the Justice Action Coalition.
The SDG 16.3.3 research report introduces and discusses the importance of the indicator, SDG 16.3.3. In doing so, it will analyze the existing data on the official indicator adopted by the UN Statistics Commission to measure progress towards target 16.3 of providing equal access to justice for all.
The forthcoming report underscores the interrelatedness of gender-responsive laws, justice policies, institutions, and budgets. All these elements are critical for keeping the wheel of justice in constant motion and for women’s full benefit.
The inaugural cohort of Young Justice Leaders committed to representing young innovative voices to influence international dialogues and research around justice. Over the course of two-years, their efforts led them to the 2023 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit in which SDG 16+ (Peaceful, Just, and Inclusive Societies) was a focal point of discussion. Over the course of two years, the group facilitated dialogues, built networks, and contributed to the global justice movement and policy—demonstrating that people-centered justice is both possible and necessary.
The Justice Action Coalition released a series of Justice for Children Briefings leading up to the second SDG Summit in 2023.
This policy brief offers priorities and recommended actions for child-friendly justice system reform, aimed at policymakers and supporting bodies engaged in policy processes related to justice with, and for, children.
This policy brief a "how to" briefing note to support governments’ delivery on the many political and financial commitments already made on the SDGs regarding children; the SDGs will not be met without significant progress on SDG16.
This brief alerts policymakers and justice professionals to the potential impacts of uncritically applying technologies in digital justice spaces which include children, and outlines a set of prompting questions and recommendations for policymakers and supporting bodies engaged in policy processes related to justice with, and for, children.
