Defence for Children International organizes on a regular basis side-events to the Human Rights Council.

​

DCI often organizes these side-events together with other NGOs, with UN agencies or as part of the Interagency Panel for Juvenile Justice (IPJJ) or one of the Working Group for which DCI is an active member (Working Group on Children and Violence (WG/CAV), including the Focus Group on Children and Armed Conflict (FG/CAA); Working Group on Children of Incarcerated Parents (WG/CIP); Working Group on Mainstreaming (WG/M)).

​
