SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2012, para. 25
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Fourthly, law reform initiatives are not relevant for legal experts only. They have been particularly successful when promoted in a participatory process, with the involvement of key stakeholders including governmental departments, parliamentarians, independent children's rights institutions, and key actors in civil society, including professional groups, religious communities, non-governmental organizations and young people themselves. With a far-reaching approach, legislation lays the foundation for a culture of respect for children's rights, and can trigger a process of lasting change in attitudes and behaviour, in overcoming social taboos and the social acceptance of violence against children.
