SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2012, para. 53
Paragraph
Paragraph text
For vulnerable groups of children, including girls, children with disabilities, children belonging to minorities or indigenous groups, or affected by HIV, these efforts need to be redoubled. They face particular challenges in gaining access to schooling and in remaining in school. They are more likely to be subjected to violence, or disregarded when they seek advice or report incidents of violence. As a result, they may end up choosing not to report violence for fear of drawing attention.
Legal status
