SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2011, para. 122
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Violence against children is seldom reported, and official statistics remain limited in their ability to capture the true scale and extent of this phenomenon. As a result, available information is scarce and reflects only the tip of the iceberg. This is an area where urgent action is required and one to which the Special Representative will continue to devote priority attention. With that in mind, in 2012 she will join the Government of Sweden in the organization of an expert consultation on this issue.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children
