Through the FOCUS project, Terre des hommes Romania Foundation wanted to ensure that minors who come in contact with the law, as victims or perpetrators of the criminal act, receive individual attention and have access to personalized support. Terre des hommes Romania, Terre des hommes Hellas (Greece) and Terre des hommes Hungary worked together with Defense for Children Netherlands, Child Rights Center - Serbia, Child Circle - Belgium and SAPI - Bulgaria for the implementation of FOCUS project.

This video was produced within the FOCUS project, co-financed by the European Union's Rights, Equality and Citizenship program. Its contents are the sole responsibility of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Commission.
