SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2011, para. 108
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Recent months have also seen strengthened collaboration with faith-based organizations. Religious leaders were important allies in the development of the study and have remained key partners in the process of follow-up, fostering dialogue, promoting change in practices that perpetuate violence against children, and encouraging the use of non-violent forms of discipline. In order to strengthen these efforts, a strategic partnership was developed with the World Day of Prayer and Action for Children, a global movement of religious leaders and communities of all faiths and secular organizations committed to the promotion of children's rights and well-being. The World Day is celebrated every year during the week of 20 November, the anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. In collaboration with UNICEF, the World Conference of Religions for Peace, civil society organizations and the Office of the Special Representative, the World Day of Prayer and Action for Children launched an initiative to devote the next three years to the protection of children from violence. In support of this process, a panel discussion with key partners was held at the United Nations in New York in June 2011 under the auspices of the Permanent Mission of Chile to the United Nations.
