Why does inclusive child justice matter? Every child deserves to be heard, understood and protected, whether or not their disability is visible.
On 14 October 2026, CREAW Kenya joined child justice stakeholders at the 3rd Annual Child Justice Summit in Mombasa, convened by the Tononoka Children’s Court Users Committee and partners. Held under the theme “Invisible Voices, Digital Realities: Advancing Inclusive Child Justice in Kenya,” the summit highlighted the barriers children with hidden disabilities face in accessing justice and the need for justice systems that recognise and respond to their unique needs.
The summit culminated in the adoption of the Mombasa Declaration on Inclusive Child Justice, 2026, through which stakeholders committed to strengthening disability inclusion, improving coordination, building the capacity of justice actors, protecting children in digital spaces, and ensuring child-friendly and accessible justice processes.
