SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2012, para. 49
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Children and young people contributed to the global survey, through their assessment of progress and identification of priorities for the future. Their recommendations reveal a remarkable resilience as well as a decisive determination to raise awareness, generate solidarity and support for child victims and instil confidence to report incidents and seek redress. But impatience is growing and, as they stressed at the Caribbean consultation, "we do not want the mere comfort of hearing that we will be heard; promises need to materialize into tangible action", with improved legislation, increased mobilization and accessible services of quality, monitoring and reporting mechanisms and real resource allocation for bringing violence to an end.
