Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 22
Paragraph
Paragraph text
In many countries important initiatives have been undertaken to raise public awareness about the need to protect children from violence, to promote non-violent and positive child-rearing and parenting skills, and to encourage child rights training for relevant professionals. Children's skills in violence prevention are enhanced through child clubs and debates in school settings and peer-to-peer initiatives, such as trainings and awareness-raising offered by youth for young people in community spaces. These valuable initiatives enhance the understanding of what child victims may endure, and encourage those at risk to feel confident in seeking help and reporting incidents of violence.
Legal status
