SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 16a
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- [The agenda of the Special Representative has been guided by four strategic priorities: consolidating progress and mainstreaming implementation of the recommendations of the United Nations study; ensuring that violence against children is given prominence on the global agenda; reinforcing regional processes to enhance the protection of children from violence; and addressing emerging concerns. Significant results have been achieved, including:] Consolidation of the human rights foundation for protecting children from violence through the launch in 2010 of the campaign for universal ratification of the Optional Protocols to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. This has led to a steady increase in the number of ratifications to the Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography, in force in 173 countries, and to the promotion of new international standards, including the Optional Protocol on a communications procedure, in force in 29 States; the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189) of the International Labour Organization (ILO); and the United Nations Model Strategies and Practical Measures on the Elimination of Violence against Children in the Field of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice;
