Paragraph
Child participation 2012, para. 23
- Paragraph text
- In accordance with article 17 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a child has the right to gain access to appropriate information and material. Gaining access to information is often the first step in the participation process, given that it allows an informed child to voice his or her opinion. In the context of the sale and sexual exploitation of children, this information is often delicate and must therefore take into consideration, and sometimes challenge, cultural and context-specific sensitivities. It is equally important, targeting the children who are most at risk and hard to reach, to ensure the broad geographical and linguistic reach of information tools and mechanisms. Consideration must also be given to the particular communication needs of children with disabilities.

Paragraph
Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- During field missions and consultations held with children by the Special Representative and the Special Rapporteur, children complained about the lack or insufficient availability of such mechanisms and their inability to provide support in a safe, child-sensitive and effective manner. They recognized that mechanisms are insufficiently known by children, who have limited access to information, particularly in rural or remote areas; mechanisms are largely inaccessible to vulnerable children, including those with disabilities or belonging to minorities. Children voiced their lack of confidence in existing services and the fear that these may disclose children's privacy and put them at risk of further harassment and reprisals.
