- Paragraph text
- 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.

- A real difference in implementation will depend on how well children understand and make effective use of the provisions of these treaties. For this reason, the Special Representative launched in the fall of 2013 two child-friendly publications on these two Optional Protocols. These user-friendly publications were developed in collaboration with partners, including children and young people, from different regions who reviewed and refined the text, advised on the design and helped shape these important advocacy tools. It is expected that the publications will help to widely disseminate the Optional Protocols, raise children's awareness about their rights, help to prevent their exposure to sexual violence and abuse, and give children confidence to speak up and seek support to prevent violations and enjoy effective protection. Collaboration with Member States and other partners will remain crucial to support the translation of these child-friendly materials into national languages and promote their consideration in the framework of the school system.

- Paragraph text
- Capitalizing on implementation of the recommendations of the United Nations Study on Violence Against Children, the children's digital agenda should be integrated as a core component of any national comprehensive policy framework to prevent and address all forms of violence against children. The agenda needs to be well-coordinated, adequately funded and include clear time-bound goals and a transparent process to monitor and evaluate progress. The agenda should be promoted with the involvement of all stakeholders, and informed by the views and experiences of children and young people online, including those exposed to abuse. In a number of countries, such as Costa Rica (see box below), child safety online has become a priority in the policy agenda.

- Paragraph text
- Certain groups disproportionally exposed to the risk of cyberbullying, for example children with disabilities or special educational needs, are significantly more likely to be bullied than others. Young people with disabilities have indicated that they can be actively discouraged from using the Internet because adults are afraid that they may be bullied or because of concerns about Internet safety. However, those who have participated in consultations on cyberbullying have highlighted the many positive aspects of using the Internet. ICTs and the Internet can help children overcome many of the challenges they may face, including by decreasing social isolation through online participation and the use of social networks. Some children with disabilities expressed the view that using the Internet was liberating and empowering, as it provided a means of dealing with some of their struggles. The Internet allowed them to connect with other people with similar experiences; get support for problems such as bullying from message boards, forums and videos; and build social connections, particularly when they were experiencing social difficulties or isolation.

- Paragraph text
- In many countries significant efforts are being deployed to move in this direction. In some cases, the development of a national strategy on violence has been promoted through a wide participatory process in which governmental departments, civil society organizations, academics and young people have taken part. In a number of other cases, States have set in place national plans of action and high-level coordinating bodies to oversee implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a core component of which is violence against children.

- The strong commitment of and crucial role played by young people have been instrumental in reducing the invisibility of violence, mobilizing public attention and generating action and debate. Their voices and influence have been further consolidated through the development of national and regional networks of child-led organizations involved in advocacy for children's protection from violence. As noted elsewhere in the present report, child-led initiatives and networks are also often represented in regional governance structures established for the study follow-up.

- Significant work has been promoted in this area by civil society partners. With their support, children and young people are participating in consultations on the future development agenda. In Costa Rica, for example, young people shared the vision of their country as a nation where people can live in safety and without fear; a nation where everyone shares a deep commitment to eliminate all forms of violence in the home, in education spaces and in the community - from physical maltreatment to gender-based violence, bullying and abuse, including sexual abuse.

- Age has a significant influence on how children operate online. Children are beginning to interact with ICTs and use the Internet at an increasingly young age. The relative simplicity of mobile devices, such as touchscreen tablets and smartphones, is making digital entertainment and Internet content available and easily used by children, including in their very early years. At the same time, younger children may be particularly vulnerable as they lack appropriate technical expertise or ability to identify risks.

- An estimated 526,000 people die violently every year; in the large majority of cases, in non-conflict settings. Young males are at high risk of becoming the victims of homicide owing to their participation in street fighting, street crime, gang membership, possession of arms and other violence-prone activities. Women and girls are predominantly targeted by intimate and gender-based violence and in many nations family-related homicide is the major cause of female deaths.

Many children are particularly concerned about violent, aggressive or scary online content, including images of physical violence, torture and suicide, descriptions of war and atrocities, domestic abuse and violence, and cruelty to animals.

This is an area where strong investment is needed.

- Public fear of gang violence and youth crime fuels the perception of children as a danger, rather than as being at risk, and mass media stigmatization helps to foster tolerance of institutionalized violence against them. In turn, that generates societal pressure to criminalize children and adolescents, lower minimum ages of criminal responsibility and impose longer prison sentences.

- Gangs can provide young people with an identity and sense of belonging, as well as protection, recognition and respect. However, local gangs can also be linked to illegal activities, including extortion, illegal drug sales, fighting for territorial control and, in extreme cases, contract killings. Gangs may be associated with transnational criminal groups whose strong economic connections facilitate their activities in trafficking, organized theft and mass distribution of illegal merchandise.

- In communities affected by armed violence, children and young people from marginalized areas are often perceived as a threat to society. Violence drives and is driven by fear and is also associated with an environment of tolerance of violence, an inability to settle conflicts in a peaceful way, lack of confidence in the authorities and fear of reporting, which in turn leads to high levels of impunity.

- Recognizing the importance of violence prevention, she called for steady investment in early childhood education to ensure the development of children's talents and abilities to their full potential, to break the cycle of poverty and disadvantage for young people and to promote their social inclusion. Young children are indeed at particular risk of violence and they are also less able to resist and seek protection; fear and trauma compromise their development and threaten their sense of security and trust. Conversely, loving, secure and stimulating relationships of young children with their families and caregivers build a foundation for their physical, emotional and intellectual development and enhance their confidence and free agency.

The joint report with the Special Rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography on child-sensitive counselling, reporting and complaint mechanisms confirms the potential of this strategic cooperation.

- Future initiatives need to be gender-sensitive, informed by children's perspectives and experience, and tailored to children's evolving stages of development. To prevent violence against them in their early years, investment in positive parenting, home visitation and early childhood care and development programmes will remain essential. To capitalize on young people's agency and potential, and prevent their stigmatization and manipulation in violent incidents and criminal activities it will be imperative to empower them with life skills and quality education, and to support their active contribution to a violence-free society.

- Children from disadvantaged communities are attractive targets for organized criminal activities. Through coercion, social pressure or the promise of financial reward, they are at risk of recruitment and manipulation to hold or deliver drugs or weapons, carry out petty crime, beg on the streets or become involved in other exploitative activities. At the same time, for young people lacking genuine educational and economic opportunities and living in socially excluded neighbourhoods, participation in gang culture may be perceived as a way of gaining status and recognition; according to some studies, as many as 15 per cent of all youth in gang-affected communities may end up joining a gang, 15 being the typical age of gang entry.
