Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 112d
- Paragraph text
- [Where mechanisms exist, it is critical to secure their availability to and accessibility by all children, without discrimination, and to ensure that they act in an ethical, effective and child-sensitive manner and pursue the best interests of the child at all times. To this end:] Capacity-building and training initiatives should be developed to ensure that those working with and for children have the necessary knowledge and skills, and abide by child rights principles and ethical standards when providing children with counselling when interviewing or supporting them in reporting and complaint proceedings or in relevant recovery and reintegration programmes. These efforts should promote a collaborative and integrated approach among relevant professionals, including in the medical, legal, social and educational areas. Where not available, mental health systems for children and adolescents should be developed;

The mapping process must involve all the principal stakeholders in child protection (public and private sectors, national human rights institutions, non-governmental organizations), including children and communities, with a view to ensuring effective and sustainable child participation. If necessary, legislative changes should be introduced to protect and promote child participation rights in order:] To establish a legal framework in compliance with international standards: legislation must ensure that children can express their views freely in all matters affecting them, in general terms and in particular settings, such as within the family, education, alternative care, health care, custody and in all judicial and administrative proceedings affecting them;

Information and communications technologies, including social networking tools, should be utilized fully to reach as many children as possible.

Child participation 2012, para. 24
- Paragraph text
- Education programmes have been developed in schools and represent a wide-reaching and potentially sustainable method of informing children. From 2008 to 2011, Barnardo's, a charity founded in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in 1866 to care for vulnerable children and young people, delivered a preventative education programme on child sexual exploitation intended to improve awareness and understanding of and response to sexual exploitation and to strengthen the confidence and ability of children and young people to resist unwanted sexual experiences. The programme, which included training and awareness-raising sessions, targeted local safeguarding children boards, schools and residential units from 25 London boroughs. In total, it involved 4,723 young people and 820 professionals. According to the final evaluation, published in 2011, half of the children involved demonstrated progress in identifying risk factors and safety strategies.

Child participation 2012, para. 25
- Paragraph text
- Children at the Nzeve Deaf Children's Centre in Mutare, Zimbabwe, found that an existing manual on sexual and reproductive health education was not particularly user-friendly for hearing-impaired children and did not deal with some of their specific vulnerabilities. Accordingly, the centre worked in collaboration with the children to adapt the manual specifically to their use. After incorporating the changes suggested by the children, the centre took the revised materials back to the children for further feedback. This step was important because the children could see that their suggestions had been incorporated, giving them a sense of ownership of the document and encouraging them to provide further ideas and recommendations. Meanwhile, the process of reviewing the document multiple times helped the children to absorb and retain important information on sexual and reproductive health education.

Paragraph
Comprehensive prevention strategies against sale and sexual exploitation of children 2013, para. 83
- Paragraph text
- Access to quality education represents a significant preventive measure. As highlighted by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in its General Comment No. 13, education plays a vital role in safeguarding children from exploitative and hazardous labour and sexual exploitation. Children in school are in a protected environment. Socialization and the presence of adults make them part of a protective network, where vulnerable children can be identified and the absence of children noticed and reported. Yet, lack of awareness of what constitutes abuse and a lack of available remedies can pose major limitations. For this reason, teachers need to be trained to identify vulnerabilities and take action to prevent and report abuse. For the education system to retain children, schools must be accessible, and the education provided must be of high quality and geared towards building relevant skills for future employment.

Information and communication technologies and the sale and sexual exploitation of children 2015, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- The most successful empowerment programmes work on the regional and community levels, as they ensure that people in neighbouring countries and locations are able to identify the same behaviour. RedNATIC is a grouping of charities from 10 Latin American countries dedicated to offering resources to children to safeguard them from abuse and exploitation. Such regional groupings are better placed to work with schools and communities to ensure the message gets through at the local level and that the message is seen by children.

Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 22
- Paragraph text
- In many countries important initiatives have been undertaken to raise public awareness about the need to protect children from violence, to promote non-violent and positive child-rearing and parenting skills, and to encourage child rights training for relevant professionals. Children's skills in violence prevention are enhanced through child clubs and debates in school settings and peer-to-peer initiatives, such as trainings and awareness-raising offered by youth for young people in community spaces. These valuable initiatives enhance the understanding of what child victims may endure, and encourage those at risk to feel confident in seeking help and reporting incidents of violence.

In the absence of such programmes, the proliferation of images and videos through information and communications technologies may shape children's first ideas about sexuality and sexual behaviour, increasing the risk that they will reproduce while still young or become victims of abusive behaviour;

Sexual exploitation of children in travel and tourism 2013, para. 70
- Paragraph text
- The Child Wise Tourism programme is Child Wise's longest running overseas programme operating across South-East Asia. The goal of the project is to support regional Governments, tourism authorities and police to take the lead in establishing policy and practices which prevent child sex tourism and other forms of child sexual exploitation. It also aims to ensure a protective environment for children in tourism destinations, which assists in preventing child sex tourism. Over the last 12 years, Child Wise has implemented the programme in Thailand, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Cambodia, Viet Nam, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei Darussalam and Indonesia. It has fostered action through a country-specific approach that is grounded in unified regional goals enabling regional level comparison, cooperation and collaboration. Stakeholders have come together in regional education campaigns, forums, meetings and follow-ups to work to ensure the sustainability of programmes to prevent child sex tourism in the region. In October 2010, ECPAT Netherlands, Plan Nederland, the travel agents TUI Netherlands, the Dutch Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (ANVR), Fly Brazil, the travel agents Travel Counsellors, Plan Brazil, RESPOSTA and the World Childhood Foundation Brazil embarked on a three-year project offering vocational training to girls, motivating the tourism sector, reminding the Dutch and Brazilian authorities of their duties, raising awareness amongst travellers and providing training for travel professionals. IBCR, in collaboration with Fundación Paniomor and with the support of World Vision Canada, is beginning a new project in Costa Rica, which will aim to improve collaboration and the prosecution of these kinds of crimes against children. Moreover, the project will focus on working directly with children, families and communities of the most affected areas in Costa Rica, providing information, tools and the creation of a support network for the victims of this exploitation. Adolescents will receive information about the mechanisms of self-protection and income-generating alternatives to commercial sexual exploitation.

- In Guatemala, peer educators at the Education Programme for Working Children and Adolescents, an institution of some 1,800 students providing education to working children, created a mural to raise awareness. The aim of this microproject was to ensure that young people and adolescents were aware of the dangers of commercial sexual exploitation of children. It provided a fun and interactive way to discuss the sensitive issues of commercial sexual exploitation of children, trafficking of children and HIV/AIDS with the most at-risk young people.

Comprehensive prevention strategies against sale and sexual exploitation of children 2013, para. 40
- Paragraph text
- Communities can offer safety nets that support children in difficult situations. The willingness of, and coordination among, community actors to protect children can compensate for the weakness of public institutions. Religious communities can play a protective role by supporting the most vulnerable, having access to family spheres, helping to solve conflicts and promoting a culture of non-violence. Protective social norms, such as importance awarded to education, the promotion of responsible sexual behaviours and intergenerational communication, can help to prevent risky conduct.

- Paragraph text
- Only the delivery of comprehensive human rights education by adequately trained professionals to society at large can lead to the eradication of the root causes of the demand for child sexual exploitation, such as the disregard and commodification of children. The core principles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child must be continuously promoted and engrained across the world, namely non-discrimination (art. 2), the best interests of the child (art. 3), the right to life, survival and development (art. 6) and respect for the views of the child (art. 12).

Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- Examples of international awareness-raising programmes include an educational kit developed by UNICEF and United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) which includes a board game entitled "Riskland". GLOBE (Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment) is another programme that launched an educational campaign in 2011 to empower more than one million school children worldwide to take action on climate-related environmental issues. As part of the Children in a Changing Climate Coalition, children in El Salvador are trying to address the specific threat of floods and landslides by planting trees; in another community, children are planting tough, deep-rooted grass to stabilize hillsides.

According to the 2009 World Disasters Report, approximately 40 per cent of countries that responded to the United Nations survey at the World Conference on Disaster Reduction held in Kobe, Japan, in 2005 indicated that they were providing such education. In Slovenia, a new optional subject has been introduced in primary schools entitled "Protection against natural and other disasters." In Madagascar, UNICEF has worked to develop pre-emergency cooperation agreements with participating organizations to ensure timely and rapid responses in the event of a cyclone or flooding.

In Ukraine, a programme for young people known as the "Gender Interactive Theatre", which was developed by the School of Equal Opportunities, uses interactive theatre methods to raise awareness of social issues such as trafficking, HIV/AIDS, drug abuse and violence prevention. Based on peer education through creative arts, it encourages the participation of diverse groups of children as actors and audience. Interactive theatre has become extremely popular with young people in Ukraine and the model has been replicated in Belarus.

Comprehensive prevention strategies against sale and sexual exploitation of children 2013, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- In many instances, endogenous social norms act as a shield against the sale and exploitation of children. The values communities abide by, including unacceptability of some behaviours and importance awarded to education, can be powerful protective factors. Community leaders, especially elders, can play an important role in monitoring and addressing the exposure of children to risk. However, little research has been undertaken to identify endogenous protective practices and build on them to enhance protection and resilience. This is an area that holds significant potential and would benefit from receiving greater attention.

- In the United Kingdom, a prevention programme on sexual exploitation, administered by Nia (an organization that works towards the prevention of violence against children and the protection of victims of gender-based violence) in partnership with the Children's Society, developed and ran a train-the-trainers programme in which young people were trained to deliver training to professionals and other young people. The aim was to equip young people with information on sexual exploitation and to develop creative ways to engage participants in the learning process. The young people co-facilitated training sessions for professionals, in addition to giving presentations and workshops at various conferences and youth centres. The response from the trainers was unanimously positive; all felt that the experience had boosted their self-esteem, increased their own awareness of sexual exploitation and given them presentation skills. While the young people reportedly experienced rudeness and haughty behaviour from some professionals, they found the majority open and genuinely interested in hearing their viewpoint. The project benefited both the participants and the professionals by showing them another perspective and the unique knowledge of young people.
