SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2013, para. 59
Paragraph
Paragraph text
This situation is at times aggravated by the impact of migration. As highlighted during the Special Representative's visit to El Salvador, in June 2013, 40 per cent of Salvadoran children live with only one or even without any parent, as a result of migration or abandonment by their family. In many cases, deprivation is the norm at home, with one in every two children living in poverty, and with limited access to social services of quality to prevent and respond to violence.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children
