Paragraph
Paragraph text
Future initiatives need to be gender-sensitive, informed by children's perspectives and experience and tailored to children's evolving stages of development. To prevent violence against them in early years, investment in positive parenting, home visitation and early childhood care and development programmes remains essential. To capitalize on young people's agency and potential and prevent their stigmatization and manipulation in violent incidents and criminal activities, it will be imperative to empower them with life skills and quality education and support their active contribution to a violence-free society.
