SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2010, para. 34
- Paragraph text
- In the discussions, which gave particular attention to the protection of children from violence, including child maltreatment and its underlying causes, special emphasis was placed on strategies aimed at developing safe, stable and nurturing relationships between children and their parents and caregivers; promoting life skills for children and adolescents; reducing the availability and harmful use of alcohol, and access to guns and knives; promoting gender equality, change of cultural and social norms that support violence and victim identification, care and support programmes. Advancing work in these areas will remain a key dimension of the Special Representative's cooperation with WHO.

- Paragraph text
- The development of close collaboration with human rights bodies and mechanisms is an essential component of the Special Representative's agenda. This cooperation is critical in pursuing an integrated approach to children's protection from violence and capitalizing on synergies across mandates, in the overall framework of the implementation of children's rights standards and commitments to children, including those undertaken at the Millennium Summit, the Special Session on Children and, more recently, the Third World Congress against Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents. The call for action issued as part of the Congress highlights the importance of close cooperation between mandate holders, and its agenda provides a valuable framework for mutually supportive actions and accelerated progress towards the achievement of the time-bound targets agreed upon at the Congress; these targets are also of strategic relevance to the process of follow-up to the study's recommendations.

- In September 2009, the Special Representative participated in the twentieth Pan-American Congress on Children and Adolescents organized by the Organization of American States and the Inter-American Children's Institute and hosted in Lima by the Government of Peru. With high-level participants from the Organization's member States, as well as from national independent institutions for children's rights, non-governmental organizations and academics from the Americas, the Congress was held in commemoration of the twentieth anniversary of the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and of the eighth anniversary of the Inter-American Children's Institute. Great attention was devoted to investment in public policies for the realization of children's rights, including the protection of children from violence. Violence against children was centre stage in the official sessions and the formal dialogue between ministers and high authorities, and the Special Representative and the Rapporteur on the Rights of the Child of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, Professor Paulo Sergio Pinheiro.

- The Congress was a strategic forum to promote and review progress in the Americas on follow-up to the recommendations of the study, and to launch the report on corporal punishment and human rights of children and adolescents, recently issued by the Office of the Rapporteur on the Rights of the Child of the Inter-American Commission. This important report builds upon the United Nations study and calls on member States of the Organization of American States to place explicit and absolute legal bans on the use of corporal punishment in all settings; adopt preventive, educational, and other measures to ensure the eradication of this form of violence and promote positive and non-violent alternatives; and make the Americas a region free of child corporal punishment by 2011.

- Paragraph text
- The situation of those children remains hidden and surrounded by stigma, and is seldom envisaged as a priority in the policy agenda. There is scarce information on the numbers of children deprived of liberty and on the reasons that lead to their placement in justice and care institutions; independent monitoring mechanisms are rarely available to safeguard their rights and address their complaints; and sensationalistic information, combined with ill perception of growing juvenile delinquency, fuel social pressure for the criminalization of children and adolescents, and for the introduction of increasingly lower ages of criminal responsibility and longer measures of deprivation of liberty. This is a pattern that helps to create a culture of tolerance of violence against children, and which often contributes to the stigmatization of children belonging to poor and disadvantaged groups.

- The protection of children from violence is a key dimension of the UNICEF mandate. In this context, firm collaboration has been pursued with the Fund at Headquarters and across regions to advance the follow-up to the United Nations study recommendations and to mainstream the protection of children from violence in national policy agendas. A critical aspect of this process is the follow-up to the Third World Congress against Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents. In this connection, the Special Representative took part in the review meeting of the Organizing Committee, held in Bangkok in October 2010. The meeting, organized with the participation of UNICEF, the Governments of Brazil and Thailand, ECPAT International, other civil society organizations and young representatives from the Mekong region, highlighted the urgency of accelerating progress in the implementation of the Rio de Janeiro Call for Action, and achieving the time-bound targets agreed upon by the Congress, in the overall framework of the study follow-up and the Special Representative's mandate.

- The Twelfth Ibero-American Conference of Ministers Responsible for Children and Adolescents, held in June 2010 in Buenos Aires, provided an important platform to strengthen children's protection from violence. The Conference, in which the Special Representative participated, addressed the role of education in the promotion of children's social inclusion. The Buenos Aires Declaration recommended the development of effective laws and policies to combat violence against children, in line with the recommendations of the United Nations study. Violence against children was also identified as a priority concern for future ministerial meetings.

The survey will be promoted in close collaboration with partners, including Member States, United Nations agencies, regional organizations and institutions, and civil society and children's organizations, and will build upon relevant initiatives and regional and global processes, including the universal periodic review process of the Council, the reporting process to the Committee on the Rights of the Child, and the follow-up to the world conferences against the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents.

- Paragraph text
- The situation of these children remains surrounded by stigma. There is little information on those deprived of liberty and on the reasons behind their detention; independent monitoring mechanisms are seldom available to safeguard their protection and address their complaints. Sensationalistic information and ill perception of growing juvenile delinquency build social pressure to criminalize children and adolescents, and for the introduction of an increasingly lower minimum age of criminal responsibility and harsher measures of deprivation of liberty. As a result, a culture of tolerance to violence against children persists, and the fight against impunity for acts of violence against children is confronted with renewed challenges. These are critical concerns that the Special Representative will address in the context of her mandate, missions and supported regional initiatives.

- Paragraph text
- Another emerging concern is the association of children and adolescents with cybercrime. This may include young men's engagement in computer-related financial fraud, or the use of ICTs to facilitate illicit behaviour that may result in violence against themselves or others. For example, in the context of youth gangs, sexual images exchanged on mobile phones may become "currency" for gang members, and mobile phones can be used to exert control over others and the commission of violent acts, including sexual violence. With the increasing engagement of organized criminal groups in cybercrime activities, there is a real risk that young people may become drawn into online criminal activities, driven by bravado, attracted by promises of economic gain, or compelled by threats or coercion.

- Over the past year, significant strides have been made in the process of consolidating regional commitments. In the Americas, the twenty-first Pan-American Child and Adolescent Congress of the Organization of American States on the theme of "Childhood: building environments of peace," hosted by the Government of Brazil, was devoted to the protection of children from violence, including in the context of juvenile justice, and from sexual exploitation. The Congress reiterated the commitment of the continent to using the United Nations study on violence against children as an indispensable reference for action, including securing strong national laws, plans and programmes; mobilizing adequate resources; consolidating data; strengthening awareness-raising initiatives; and greater investment in violence prevention.

SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2015, para. 61
- Paragraph text
- The process is exacerbated by weak rule of law, poor law enforcement, corruption and a generalized fear of retaliation, resulting in crimes going unreported, low numbers of convictions and a profound sense of impunity. That pattern is particularly serious when children and adolescents are subject to State violence, carried out by law enforcement agents or by private security guards acting with the consent or tolerance of government entities. Enforced disappearances, extrajudicial executions, torture or arbitrary detention make it particularly hard for those children to access effective child protection mechanisms, seek redress and combat impunity. That only deepens the fear that prevents many victims from reporting violence and increases their lack of confidence in the justice system.

SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2015, para. 65
- Paragraph text
- The consumption of alcohol and drugs can affect cognitive and physical function, mental health, self-control and the ability to assess risks. Impulsivity may increase, putting consumers at higher risk of resorting to violence in confrontations. An impaired ability to recognize warning signs in potentially dangerous situations can make them easy targets for perpetrators of violence. Experiencing or witnessing violence can lead to the harmful use of alcohol as a way of coping or self medicating. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) study in 2014, 34.1 per cent of adolescents (15-19 years old) drink alcohol; in the Americas and Europe the numbers rise to 52 per cent and 69.5 per cent respectively. Another WHO report in 2006 indicated that alcohol was a contributor to 26 per cent of the years of life lost to homicide among males and 16 per cent for females.

- The direct effects of armed violence in the community include physical injuries and psychological harm, as well as deaths. Homicides have a young face. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, homicide claims some 36,000 children under the age of 15 each year (8 per cent of all victims) and about 43 per cent of all homicides are of adolescents and young people aged between 15 and 29. Overall, 40 per cent of homicides are from firearms; however among children and youths killed in the Americas that figure is almost 70 per cent. As regards non-lethal injuries, it is estimated that for every youth homicide, between 20 and 40 young people receive hospital treatment for violence.

- Paragraph text
- Research on gangs in Honduras has shed some light on factors that lead adolescents to join or leave a gang. Joining a gang is more likely for a young person whose parents are absent for economic reasons, including as a result of migration, and for whom no other authority figure has stepped in. In one group studied, gang members who had lost their parents saw the gang as a replacement family. In another group, gang members were far more driven by financial reasons, regarding the leader as the boss of the business. Overall, the most common reasons for leaving the gang were the birth of a first child, concern about damage being caused to family members, the opportunity to move to a different neighbourhood, commitment to the community and having a spiritual experience.

SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 46
- Paragraph text
- The past few years have witnessed growing numbers of children and adolescents on the move, alone or with their families, within and across countries. In 2015, children constituted more than half of the total refugee population, and more than 100,000 asylum claims were lodged by unaccompanied or separated children. More often than not, a child's decision to leave home is an escape strategy to secure safety and protection; to reach a safe haven from political instability, conflict, natural disasters, violence and exploitation. For children on the move, especially those who travel unaccompanied or separated from their families, violence infuses daily life and is often part of a continuum. Fear and insecurity are widespread, and impunity prevails. During a recent country visit by the Special Representative, children repeatedly told her that life was unfair and that they saw their neighbourhood as a ghetto of hopelessness, lawlessness and fear.

- The drugs trade typically uses children and adolescents for the most dangerous activities, such as monitoring territory, the transport and retail sale of drugs, or theft. Some children may end up being associated with criminal activities, including human trafficking, kidnapping and extortion and contract killings. Boys and girls may participate in human trafficking from an early age, as guides, lookouts or informants. Thereafter, they may be required to take care of safe houses and prevent escapes and later they may be armed and become involved in more dangerous tasks.

- That approach has led to the increasing severity of criminal penalties, the lowering of the minimum age of criminal responsibility and criminalization of the lower levels of illegal organizations, where the involvement of marginalized children and teenagers is concentrated. Young offenders tend to be incarcerated in overcrowded detention centres, at times together with adults, risking engagement with criminal gangs which control their communities beyond the prison walls. Rather than enhancing prevention, this leads to greater violence.

- Public fear of gang violence and youth crime has generated social pressure for the criminalization of children and adolescents, lower minimum ages of criminal responsibility and longer sentences of imprisonment. This has been accompanied by media stigmatization of children from disadvantaged groups and a culture of tolerance of violence against them. In this process, poor rule of law and weak law enforcement performance, together with public fear of retaliation, lead to sporadic convictions and a deep sense of impunity.

In 2006, the United Nations Study on Violence Against Children acknowledged that "the Internet and other developments of communication technologies … appear to be associated with an increased risk of sexual exploitation of children, as well as other forms of violence" (A/61/299, para. 77). The third World Congress against Sexual Exploitation of Children and Adolescents, held in 2008 in Brazil, reaffirmed that concern.
