On 9 August 2025, CRJJC again hosted its Know Your Rights Initiative in a joint session for both the Special Correctional Centre for Girls, Idi Araba (“SCCG”) and Children’s Correctional Centre for Girls, Idi Araba (“CCCG”). This is part of the Know Your Rights Initiative conducted across the children’s correctional centres in Lagos in the 2024/2025 Academic Year.
The event, coordinated by experienced lawyers, law students, and volunteers, featured insightful discussions on Child Rights and Child Justice Administration. It also included engaging activities like: “Picasso Me” – a fun drawing session with prizes for the 3 best drawings 🎨, and “Be My Lawyer” – an interactive game where the girls applied their newfound knowledge to legally represent a peer🤝.
Individualised sessions were held at the close of the event to mentor and engage with each girl 💖.
