SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 20
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- At the same time, however, progress has been too slow, too uneven and too fragmented to make a genuine breakthrough in the protection of children from violence. Countless girls and boys of all ages continue to be exposed to the cumulative impact of different forms of violence as a result of reactive, ill-coordinated and ill-resourced national strategies; dispersed and poorly enforced legislation; and low levels of investment in family support and gender- and child-sensitive approaches and mechanisms to support child victims and fight impunity. Overall, data and research remain scarce and incipient - insufficient to overcome the invisibility and acceptance of this phenomenon and to safeguard children's freedom from violence at all times.
