Paragraph text
The identification of robust indicators on the prevalence and severity of children's exposure to violence is another critical dimension of the Special Representative's advocacy efforts and is crucial to capturing the magnitude and impact of violence on children and to assessing progress towards reaching the Sustainable Development Goal targets related to combating violence, especially target 16.2. As a member of the Inter-Agency and Expert Group on Sustainable Development Goal Indicators, she strongly advocated the inclusion of three indicators on children's exposure to sexual, physical and emotional violence, which were later adopted by the Statistical Commission.
