SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 89
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In March 2016, the Special Representative participated as a keynote speaker in the high-level meeting of the South Asia Initiative to End Violence against Children to review progress made and discuss the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in the region. Significant progress has been achieved during the past 10 years in the institutionalization of the Initiative and in national action to advance implementation of the recommendations of the United Nations study. Building upon this process, participants highlighted the unique momentum provided by the implementation of the 2030 Agenda to further strengthen the protection of children and to inform the Initiative's new five-year plan. Regional priorities, such as ending sexual exploitation and abuse of children; child labour; and harmful practices, including child marriage, corporal punishment and violence in schools, provide a sound basis for aligning regional and country-level action with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and achievement of the violence-related Sustainable Development Goal targets.
