Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 33
- Paragraph text
- Despite their clear definitions, concepts often overlap. There are many links between the sale of children, trafficking in children, forced labour, child prostitution, sex tourism and child pornography. The exploitation of children for economic purposes often goes hand in hand with their exploitation for sexual purposes. The development of sex tourism almost invariably entails the development of child prostitution and child pornography (some abusers film their victims). In conflict zones, the recruitment of children for armed conflict is very often accompanied by the sexual exploitation of children, especially girls.

Paragraph
Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 68
- Paragraph text
- In Iceland and Sweden, Barnahus ("Children's Houses") have been established to provide children with assistance while also obtaining evidence that can be used in legal proceedings. Interviews with child victims of violence are held in a child-friendly environment, avoiding multiple interviews, enhancing the value of the evidence obtained and providing therapy and support. The model was adapted from the United States, where some 600 Children's Advocacy Centers exist. With specially trained psychologists and social workers, the centres operate under a board composed of representatives of the relevant agencies, including the police, local hospital and social work authority. A 2008 evaluation of Swedish Barnahus found that "the position of the child in the legal process was bolstered and the child's perspective is considered in a higher degree than before. An increasing number of interviews and medical examinations took place and the children have been given better treatment and care in the acute crisis."

Paragraph
Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 89
- Paragraph text
- While States retain primary responsibility for the protection of children in a natural disaster, fulfilment of these obligations are frequently challenged as a result of absent or incapacitated institutional and legal structures. Despite the many actors and stakeholders providing emergency response services in natural disasters, children continue to face significant risk, both within and without the protection perimeter. The absence of a comprehensive framework for the coordination and allocation of roles and responsibilities of multiple international and local responders frequently leads to confusion, unnecessary duplication of efforts and substantial protection gaps. This is complicated by limitations or overlaps in organizational mandates - many of which do not address the issue of child protection - and a near absence of quantitative and qualitative data that would clarify the extent of risks faced by children in natural disasters.

Comprehensive, rights-based and child-centred care, recovery and reintegration programmes 2015, para. 71
- Paragraph text
- The first step in the recovery process is to ensure that procedures and mechanisms are in place for the rapid identification of child victims so that they can access timely and appropriate assistance. Once rescued, and after a comprehensive assessment of the individual case, the child should be either returned to his or her family or provided with emergency shelter as well as with care, protection and follow-up services. Rescue operations should ensure that children are returned to a safe environment, whether with their families or in alternative arrangements, with special care taken when victims must be repatriated from another country.

Paragraph
Tackling the demand for the sexual exploitation of children 2016, para. 64
- Paragraph text
- In the specific case of military and peacekeeping troops and personnel, there is a lack of accountability in instances of sexual exploitation of children. Concrete measures are needed to ensure that those offenders are also prosecuted and convicted either at the international or national level. As far as United Nations peacekeeping troops and personnel are concerned, the Secretary-General has outlined a series of measures to ensure the investigation of those crimes and the prosecution of the perpetrators through the creation of immediate response teams, the imposition of strong sanctions, the repatriation of contingents and the referral to judicial authorities of host countries and contributing countries. He has also established an external independent review panel to assess the response of the United Nations to allegations of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse and other serious crimes by members of foreign military forces not under United Nations command in the Central African Republic. The Special Rapporteur looks forward to the panel's findings and hopes they will improve accountability.

Paragraph
Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 69
- Paragraph text
- Conflicts affect the safety and well-being of the most vulnerable populations, particularly children as they negatively impact on living conditions by exacerbating economic crises, destroy infrastructure and cause massive displacements of people both internally and beyond national borders outside the country. The lack of a family environment, the destruction of social safety-nets, instability and a culture of impunity mean that children are more likely to be subjected to forced labour, sale and trafficking, recruitment into armed forces and armed groups, early marriage or sexual exploitation.

Comprehensive prevention strategies against sale and sexual exploitation of children 2013, para. 93
- Paragraph text
- During humanitarian crises following natural disasters or climate-related catastrophes, child-friendly and safe spaces should be established in temporary shelters or camps where every child can rest and play with a sense of normalcy and receive care and support under the supervision of trained professionals and appropriate security. Temporary shelter arrangements and the delivery of basic services should be established with a view to avoiding the accidental separation of children from their families.

Paragraph
Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 43
- Paragraph text
- Implementing a framework to coordinate and allocate the roles, responsibilities and resources of all actors on the ground is difficult in a natural disaster situation. Vast differences in organization mandates, resources and capacities tend to complicate a chaotic situation, which is further exacerbated by the absence of an effectively functioning legal and institutional framework of the State. An absence of information on the existence and location of children further compounds this problem, while gathered information is often incomplete.

Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 56
- Paragraph text
- Following the passage of Cyclone Nargis in Myanmar in 2008, the United Nations initiated a Protection of Women and Children Cluster that was jointly chaired by UNICEF and Save the Children. The cluster served as a forum for coordination and planning between the United Nations and NGOs to respond to the needs of child survivors who had lost families and other basic necessities. The response from all agencies was informed and coordinated, resulting in more efficient and effective programmes.

Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 114
- Paragraph text
- When possible, children should be evacuated from their place of residence with adult family members. Separation should be undertaken as a last resort, on a temporary basis, and only where it has been determined that protection and assistance cannot be provided in that location and when evacuation of the entire family is not possible or feasible. Evacuations should be kept to a location as close as possible to the child's home and family and undertaken with the informed and written consent of the parents and in the best interests of the child.

Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 84
- Paragraph text
- An important area for partnership between civil society and governments concerns the provision of safe mechanisms for particularly vulnerable children, who are often hard to reach through government services. Marginalized children include those lacking parental care, those placed in institutional settings or in detention, those living and working in the streets, those with disabilities, those in extreme poverty, those trapped in child labour, or those on the move, including as migrants or asylum-seekers, as well as children in situations of armed conflict.

Paragraph
Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- Extreme global weather conditions have a disproportionately negative impact on the world's poorest and most vulnerable people. It is known that the most vulnerable populations face different levels of risk and have different capacities to recover. A huge proportion of those at risk are children, many of whom are living in low-income countries. Save the Children estimates that over the next ten years, up to 175 million children are likely to be affected by natural disasters each year. Multiple interacting political and socio-economic factors increase children's vulnerability to sale and exploitation, and humanitarian crises, such as natural disasters, further increase this vulnerability.

Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 101
- Paragraph text
- A comprehensive overview is needed to review mandate issues as well as the effective coordination between relevant stakeholders. All organizations and sectoral services should review their delivery processes in emergency situations to ensure that their systems and practices do not, even inadvertently, heighten risks faced by children. They must also ensure that their policy and programmatic activities are in full compliance with the guidelines and standards established by international organizations and inter-agency initiatives in relation to child protection in natural disasters.

- Paragraph text
- Efforts should be undertaken to accurately record the basic details of a child's identity, including the name of the child and her/his parents, details of their residence and community, the date of evacuation, and to whom the child was entrusted for care. Each child should receive a copy of his/her file which should stay on their person and should include travel documents. Each child should have a name tag pinned to his/her clothing which also indicates the name of the child's community of origin. When possible, a photograph of the child should be taken and included in the files. Copies of files should be given to parents, national authorities, the organization responsible for evacuation (if necessary) and a neutral monitoring agency, such as the ICRC's Central Tracing Agency.

Paragraph
Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 21
- Paragraph text
- Programmatic approaches differ between countries so that organizations and field practitioners are left to improvise responses. Programmes, policies and guidelines for child protection are complex and despite explicit references to child protection in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, their implementation has been the slowest in humanitarian crises. The vast majority of child protection responses remain reactive, disorganized and severely underfunded. Consequently, there is a critical need for specific management of children's vulnerability.

Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 74

- The establishment and effective implementation of monitoring and accountability systems is integral to the promotion of child protection in emergency response activities. Although a number of States provide a means for monitoring the placement of children in alternative care arrangements through various Government ministries, very few States have developed a comprehensive system to review the progress and challenges faced by a community - and children in particular - after a natural disaster.

The Committee on the Rights of the Child has found that the sale of children for use in armed conflict is covered by this provision of the Optional Protocol. The Committee has also found that the sale of children for use in camel racing can be considered to fall under the prohibition of the sale of children for their engagement in forced labour.

Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 91
- Paragraph text
- Children on the move, including children who migrate, who are refugees or asylum-seekers are also at special risk of enduring violence without benefiting from counselling or having access to reporting or complaint mechanisms. According to the World Bank, approximately one third of migrants from developing countries are between the ages of 12 and 24. At times on their own, unable to speak the language and lacking information about existing child protection services, they are often afraid of approaching the authorities and of being deported, especially when undocumented. As a result, they may place themselves at further risk of violence and exploitation.

Child participation 2012, para. 63
- Paragraph text
- Kafa, a local non-governmental organization working on violence and exploitation in Lebanon, carried out research in the aftermath of the July 2006 conflict to assess the prevalence of child sexual abuse, explore knowledge and attitudes and identify barriers to seeking help. More than 1,000 children aged from 9 to 12 years from camps for displaced persons and summer camps participated in the study. In addition, some 250 schoolchildren were involved in five sessions to raise awareness of sexual abuse. Through the Ministry of Social Affairs, the Government indicated its willingness to adopt a national strategy on child sexual abuse - a clear and positive outcome of the project.

Comprehensive, rights-based and child-centred care, recovery and reintegration programmes 2015, para. 61
- Paragraph text
- Services are often provided in an ad hoc manner and fail to systematically reach child victims. Many countries suffer from a deficiency of coordination capacity and mechanisms to identify victims and refer them to the proper authorities and services. The lack of centralized coordination and information systems also prevents the systematic evaluation of services and interventions. In many countries, the heavy reliance on non-governmental organization service providers raises concerns about the dependability and sustainability of resource provision and about the quality and accountability of service providers.

Comprehensive, rights-based and child-centred care, recovery and reintegration programmes 2015, para. 76
- Paragraph text
- Care, recovery and reintegration programmes should respond to the need to provide continuous, comprehensive assistance beyond emergency and short-term support. Support for children needs to be available for a long period of time and should not simply end once a child has been reunited with the family, reaches the age of 18 and/or has left an institution. Moreover, long-term care and recovery programmes and services require consistent funding and allocation of resources. As stressed by the Rotherham Inquiry undertaken in the United Kingdom in 2013 to examine the State's response to child sexual exploitation, all services should recognize that once a child is affected by sexual exploitation, he or she is likely to require support and therapeutic intervention for an extended period.

It supported weekly community sensitization and the mobilization of "flotilla vans" that provided information to the children of a community before the arrival of the mobile child-friendly spaces. In 2006, Save the Children established child-friendly spaces in Lebanon where children could safely play and learn. Staff also introduced information on landmine awareness into the curricula.

Effective Implementation of the OPSC 2010, para. 39
- Paragraph text
- Poverty remains the primary reason for the sale and sexual exploitation of children. It has been exacerbated by armed conflict, climate change (e.g. desertification, severe flooding), natural disasters and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. According to the 2010 MDG Global Monitoring Report published by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, the number of people living on less than US $1.25 per day in developing regions fell from 1.8 billion in 1990 to 1.4 billion in 2005. Nevertheless, new World Bank estimates suggest that the crisis left 50 million more people in extreme poverty in 2009, a number which is expected to rise to 64 million by the end of 2010, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and East and South-East Asia.

Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 106
- Paragraph text
- As confirmed by the analysis conducted for the present report, too often, available mechanisms lack a basis in law and have no clear definition of their mandate, role and responsibilities. National plans of action on children, or specifically on violence against children, address these mechanisms in a sporadic manner and lack the necessary resources to ensure their timely and effective intervention. Evaluation of these mechanisms is rare, and so is the assessment of the effectiveness of follow-up measures, or of the impact on children of decisions taken in response to violence.

Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 86
- Paragraph text
- Rape and other sexual violence against children are under scrutiny by the Security Council monitoring and reporting mechanism on children and armed conflict. According to reports of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, children are particularly vulnerable to sexual violence in and around refugee and internally displaced population settings, and when associated with armed forces and groups. Girls remain the main victims of sexual violence in armed conflict, but there are increasing reports of sexual abuse against boys. Collecting data and reporting on sexual violence against children in armed conflict remains a significant challenge. As noted by the Special Representative: "these acts are considered in many contexts as strong taboos, and as such survivors and communities are not encouraged to speak out. The lack of trust in the judicial process and the fear of reprisals accentuate the culture of silence."

Protection of children from sale and sexual exploitation following humanitarian crisis due to natural disasters 2012, para. 25
- Paragraph text
- During the preparation of this report, it became evident that while children are recognized as being among the most vulnerable to the immediate and long-term effects of a natural disaster, it is currently impossible to accurately determine the full extent of their vulnerability. This is primarily due to a stark absence of empirical evidence on the actual impact of natural disasters on children and raw figures detailing the number of children who are killed, traumatized, unaccompanied, separated from their families, orphaned, displaced or disappeared. Only a handful of States have methodically gathered quantitative data on the number of children who have been unaccompanied, separated, orphaned, displaced or disappeared due to a natural disaster, and only seven of those States submitted data in response to the questionnaire.
