SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 44
- Paragraph text
- The implementation of the 2030 Agenda requires strengthened partnerships and the mobilization of significant resources. A broad global alliance uniting Governments, civil society, community and religious leaders, the private sector, international organizations and all other actors, including children themselves, is crucial for widening social support and promoting implementation, follow-up and review of progress. For this reason, the Special Representative will continue to support the global initiatives and partnerships noted above, including the Global Partnership to End Violence against Children.

- In March 2016, the Special Representative participated as a keynote speaker in the high-level meeting of the South Asia Initiative to End Violence against Children to review progress made and discuss the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in the region. Significant progress has been achieved during the past 10 years in the institutionalization of the Initiative and in national action to advance implementation of the recommendations of the United Nations study. Building upon this process, participants highlighted the unique momentum provided by the implementation of the 2030 Agenda to further strengthen the protection of children and to inform the Initiative's new five-year plan. Regional priorities, such as ending sexual exploitation and abuse of children; child labour; and harmful practices, including child marriage, corporal punishment and violence in schools, provide a sound basis for aligning regional and country-level action with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and achievement of the violence-related Sustainable Development Goal targets.

- Moreover, all incidents of violence against children on the move must be exposed. Children need to feel respected, cherished and supported in their development and well-being. They have the right to feel safe and protected from fear, abuse and exploitation. Impunity needs to end. And sound data and evidence need to be consolidated to inform decisions on violence prevention, early warning and response; to help enhance the skills of professionals and the capacity of institutions; and to sustain and monitor progress and evaluate the impact of interventions. Careful, ethical and participatory evaluation and research involving the children concerned are a crucial dimension of this process.

- In Africa, on the occasion of the commemoration by the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, the Special Representative, together with UNICEF and the African Child Policy Forum, presented a review of regional progress on the implementation of the recommendations of the United Nations study. The conference highlighted progress, challenges and opportunities to promote freedom from violence as part of wider efforts to achieve the African Union Agenda 2063 and the vision of building an Africa fit for its children. The outcomes of the discussion informed the development of Africa's Agenda for Children 2040, formally adopted in November 2016, one of whose core goals is ending violence against children.

- Secondly, international standards require the best interests of the child to be a primary consideration in all decisions affecting the child and at all times: upon arrival in a destination country, during relevant proceedings, or when the possibility of return is envisaged. It is crucial to ensure safe, dignified and child-sensitive age-assessment procedures, and in any case of doubt to provide the special protection every child is entitled to. The same principles should apply when the child's legal status is being established or when a request for family reunification is considered. The appointment of a legal guardian is essential to provide support and to defend the child's best interests at every point.

- The Special Representative will continue to enhance her collaboration with the African Union and support further efforts to advance the implementation of its Campaign to End Child Marriage. Significant progress has been made in this regard, including the recent adoption by the Government of Burkina Faso of a comprehensive national strategy on ending child marriage 2016-2025, and the joining of the campaign by the Governments of Cameroon, Liberia and Nigeria. Eighteen African countries have launched the Campaign and in November 2016, the Heads of State and Government of francophone countries adopted a resolution reaffirming their commitment to end all forms of violence against children, including such practices as child, early and forced marriages, and to advance the 2030 Agenda.

- The Regional Plan of Action is framed by the 2030 Agenda and provides a powerful example of how regional cooperation can support national action on the protection of children from violence and advance progress to achieve the violence-related Sustainable Development Goal targets. It proposes concrete actions within a realistic time frame, including the promotion of non-violent approaches to child discipline; the deinstitutionalization of children; the protection of children from online abuse; the promotion of child-friendly justice proceedings, the prevention of deprivation of liberty of children and the promotion of alternatives to detention; and awareness-raising campaigns to break through the invisibility of violence and secure the protection of child victims.

Indeed, regional organizations and institutions are strategic allies in violence-prevention and -elimination initiatives and their institutionalized cooperation with the Special Representative has helped place violence against children at the heart of the regional policy agenda, enhance the accountability of States and support national implementation efforts.

- For children on the move, as for any other child who is left behind, we need to transform the continuum of violence that shapes their life into a continuum of protection of their fundamental rights. The world must address these desperate situations urgently. Children's freedom from violence is an ethical and a legal imperative and should not be met with indifference or complacency. It is crucial to strengthen and effectively resource child protection institutions to which children on the move can be referred, and to implement the existing standards and develop adequate monitoring tools to safeguard children's care and safety, to promote durable solutions, to rapidly identify and address risks and to fight impunity.

- Over the past year, the Special Representative has promoted important processes and mobilization initiatives to strengthen the protection of children from violence around the world with national authorities, United Nations agencies, regional organizations, non-governmental and faith-based organizations, the private sector and the media, as well as child-led networks. The year was marked by the adoption of several regional plans of action to prevent and eliminate violence against children and the promotion of significant partnerships to mobilize support for their protection. At the national level, important progress was made with the enactment of new legislation to ban violence in all its forms, the adoption of policy frameworks to guide implementation, and the further consolidation of data and research to inform evidence-based action.

- Harmful practices such as these figured prominently at the Seventh International Policy Conference on the African Child, hosted by the African Child Policy Forum in Addis Ababa in November 2016. The conference highlighted the often fatal forms of violence affecting in particular marginalized and vulnerable children, including cases of infanticide, and attacks on children with albinism or those accused of witchcraft. With a solutions-oriented approach, the conference adopted a call to action to protect all children from violence, promote the implementation of policies and laws and mobilize for dialogue at all levels .

- Bullying affects children at different stages of their development, severely undermining their health, emotional well-being and school performance. It is often associated with profound feelings of dread, loneliness and helplessness. Victims may suffer sleep disorders, headaches, stomach pain, poor appetite and fatigue as well as feelings of low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, shame and, at times, suicidal thoughts. The psychological and emotional scars that are left may persist into adult life. Bullies themselves are also affected, and are also more likely than their peers to be involved in anti-social and risky behaviour later on in life. Furthermore, bullying can affect the whole school community, creating a climate of suspicion and uncertainty that can cause children to remain silent or to become complicit out of fear.

- The value and success of the 2030 Agenda will be measured by the strategic action taken and tangible progress made in implementation on the ground, especially for those furthest behind, those who are the least visible and most forgotten children and who are often also the most at risk of violence, abuse and exploitation. It is therefore essential to promote the adoption and implementation of a comprehensive and cohesive nationally owned sustainable development strategy that is supported by predictable resources; informed by solid evidence and robust, reliable and disaggregated data; and reviewed through an open, inclusive and periodic assessment of progress using internationally agreed benchmarks.

- It is indeed high time to close the gap between the commitments to prevent and address violence against children and the action that can translate this goal into a reality for all children, leaving no child behind. It is high time to genuinely address the root causes of violence and promote a culture of respect for children's rights and of zero tolerance of violence. It is high time to mobilize and ignite the passion of all those who can actively engage in the creation of circles of non-violence in children's homes, schools and communities.

- Ten years after the launching of the United Nations study, the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides a unique opportunity to renew commitments and reinvigorate action to end violence against children. For the very first time, the dignity of children and their right to live free from violence and from fear are recognized as a distinct priority on the international development agenda. The inclusion of target 16.2 to eliminate by 2030 all forms of violence against children was a breakthrough; the international community must now act to transform this momentum into an unstoppable movement towards a world free from fear and from violence for all children.

- The experience gained from 10 years of implementation of the recommendations of the United Nations study provides a solid basis to build upon. An increasing number of States have promoted awareness and social mobilization initiatives on this topic, and adopted legislation and national plans of action to prevent and respond to violence, along with mechanisms to collect and analyse data to inform planning, policy and budgetary decisions, as well as monitoring and evaluation. Translating the 2030 Agenda into national action is therefore under way, though much more needs to be done to mainstream the goals and targets into national development plans, strategies and actions that are nationally owned and to further the realization of children's rights.

- The 2017 high-level political forum will provide an important platform to assess progress in the protection of children from violence under the theme "Eradicating poverty and promoting prosperity in a changing world". The in-depth reviews at the high-level political forum of the Sustainable Development Goals on ending poverty, ensuring healthy lives and achieving gender equality will provide a critical reflection of how far States have come in ensuring a protective environment to offset the multiple, and often interconnected, vulnerabilities faced by children. For target 16.2 and the other violence-related targets, the 2017 voluntary national reviews are an important opportunity to highlight good practices, identify challenges and lessons learned, and renew commitments and the provision of reliable resources towards ending all forms of violence against children.

- While their fate is being decided, children may endure humiliation, physical attacks and sexual abuse. In many cases, they lack access to a child protection authority, to an age- and gender-sensitive protection determination process, to legal representation, to accessible information about their rights or about ways of seeking redress for the acts of violence they may have suffered. This may explain why large numbers of children go missing from reception centres or disappear from the care of child protection facilities or immigration authorities.

- Violence in the community is widespread. As highlighted by the Special Representative in her study Protecting Children Affected by Armed Violence in the Community, launched during the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, held in October 2016 in Quito, 300 million children below the age of 5 are thought to be exposed to community violence. Indeed, in many parts of the world, armed violence is often associated with gang activities and organized crime, an environment of violence that shapes children's daily life and generates fear, insecurity, and a pervasive sense that impunity prevails.
