SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2013, para. 73
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Despite incremental initiatives to break the invisibility of violence and mobilize action to address it, the global survey confirms that information on violence against children remains scarce and fragmented, with limited data available on the extent and impact of violence against children, risk factors and the underlying attitudes and social norms that perpetuate such violence. As a result, there is a costly impact on child victims and witnesses, their families and society as a whole.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
