inclusive, including through child rights impact assessments and evaluations in legislative,
policy and programme design;
(f)
Considering inclusive social protection an integral part of the elimination of
child labour;
(g)
Raising awareness and distributing clear, accessible and targeted information
on available inclusive social protection support, eligibility criteria and how to apply;
13.
Further urges States to ensure that all children have access to justice and
timely, effective, inclusive, gender-, disability- and age-responsive and trauma-informed
remedial victim support and reparation and guarantees of non-repetition when their rights are
violated in the context of inclusive social protection, ensuring the availability and
accessibility of free-of-charge, safe, confidential, responsive and child-friendly reporting
mechanisms, to uphold child-responsive due process guarantees in administrative and
judicial proceedings, taking into account the best interests of the child as a primary
consideration and that the child has the right to be provided the opportunity to be heard in
such proceedings, either directly or through a representative or an appropriate body, and to
provide the child with relevant information concerning violations and reparation
mechanisms, access to effective legal representation and assistance adapted for children and,
where relevant, for and through their parents, caregivers and legal guardians;
14.
Calls upon States to adopt measures, with an intersectional approach, to
recognize, value and redistribute on an equal and fair basis paid and unpaid care work and to
reduce unpaid care work, which is currently still disproportionately performed by women
and girls, hampers their access to formal employment and jeopardizes their right to
contributory social security, by promoting the equal sharing of responsibilities among family
members and among families, communities, the private sector and States and by prioritizing,
inter alia, sustainable and accessible infrastructure and transport, affordable and quality social
services, including care and support services and products, childcare and labour standards
that provide for decent work and gender equality for all workers, including maternity,
paternity or parental leave, equal pay for work of equal value, safe and healthy working
conditions and freedom from violence and harassment in the world of work, including sexual
and gender-based violence and harassment, freedom of association and the right to organize
and bargain collectively;
15.
Urges States to ensure that social protection coverage is gender-responsive and
tailored to the needs of women and girls, including with regard to their right to the highest
attainable standard of physical and mental health, including sexual and reproductive health
information, education and care services, and menstrual health and hygiene, as well as
maternal health, services, such as prenatal and postnatal care and breastfeeding and nutrition
services;
16.
Also urges States to comply with their obligations under international law,
including international humanitarian law and international human rights law, particularly the
Convention on the Rights of the Child and the optional protocols thereto, emphasizing the
importance of accountability for all violations and abuses of the rights of the child;
Child rights mainstreaming
17.
Notes with appreciation the Guidance Note of the Secretary-General on Child
Rights Mainstreaming, which emphasizes the need to integrate a child rights perspective,
including through the active and meaningful engagement of children, necessarily engaging
those most at risk of being left behind, in all decision-making processes affecting the
enjoyment of their human rights and sets out clear expectations for the entire United Nations
system and United Nations entities, including the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Human Rights and human rights investigative and accountability
mechanisms, to ensure the ethical, meaningful and safe participation of children in all
relevant United Nations action and United Nations forums, as necessary to achieving the
mainstreaming of child rights;
