SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2013, para. 122
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Violence does not take place in a vacuum. Important factors, such as poverty, environmental degradation and organized crime aggravate the risk of child neglect, maltreatment and abuse. Conversely, the protection of children from violence contributes to social progress and the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. As the international community considers the global development agenda for beyond 2015, it is critical to address violence as a priority and a cross-cutting concern, recognizing the centrality of the human dignity of the child, securing the protection of the most disadvantaged and safeguarding children's right to freedom from violence.
