SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2010, para. 61
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- As highlighted by the Special Representative in her address, violence and child labour are closely interrelated. Violence in the home, in schools and in institutions, is a factor that pushes children into child labour, particularly its worst forms; violence is also a means to coerce children to work, and to keep them in exploitation and servitude. At the same time, violence and child labour can be prevented and effectively addressed, through the development of national action plans, the adoption of sound legislation and the strengthening of data and research. These actions figure prominently in the Road map, which also constitutes a key instrument in the elimination of violence against children in work-related situations.
