As the international community considers the global development agenda for beyond 2015, it is critical to address violence as a priority and a cross-cutting concern, recognizing the centrality of the human dignity of the child, securing the protection of the most disadvantaged and safeguarding children's right to freedom from violence.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2011, para. 92
- Paragraph text
- Schools are uniquely placed to break patterns of violence and provide skills to communicate, negotiate and support peaceful settlements of conflict. Education has a unique potential to generate a positive environment where attitudes condoning violence can be changed and non-violent behaviour can be learned. This is relevant for all ages, but particularly during early childhood. An environment free from violence in all its forms, including gender-based violence, is also instrumental in the promotion of the Millennium Development Goals, particularly in ensuring universal primary education to all children and eliminating gender disparity in education.
