SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2012, para. 53
- Paragraph text
- For vulnerable groups of children, including girls, children with disabilities, children belonging to minorities or indigenous groups, or affected by HIV, these efforts need to be redoubled. They face particular challenges in gaining access to schooling and in remaining in school. They are more likely to be subjected to violence, or disregarded when they seek advice or report incidents of violence. As a result, they may end up choosing not to report violence for fear of drawing attention.

- For vulnerable groups of children, including girls, children with disabilities, children belonging to minority or indigenous groups, and children affected by HIV and AIDS, these efforts must be redoubled.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2016, para. 78
- 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
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2015, para. 66
- Paragraph text
- The Internet has the potential to compound and magnify existing vulnerabilities of children at risk, and to add to the challenges they face in the offline world. For marginalized children, including those experiencing social exclusion, those out of school, with disabilities, belonging to minorities or affected by migration, who may have no access to the Internet at home or in school, who may lack guidance and advice from caregivers and who explore the cyberspace on their own, the opportunity to become an empowered digital citizen is seriously limited. Those children will be less likely to enjoy the benefits offered by the online environment or to receive information regarding online safety than their peers, and more likely to face bullying, harassment or exploitation online.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2011, para. 42
- Paragraph text
- When used as beggars, children with disabilities are subject to violence to keep them on the streets, and often suffer physical abuse to attract attention and encourage charity. In schools that are often of low quality, they endure beatings, bullying, neglect and abuse by their peers and by ill-prepared teachers who fail to understand and attend to their special needs. For children placed in institutions with ill-trained, ill-paid and often frustrated staff, in an environment of stigmatizing attitudes in the community, there are increased risks of physical violence and of verbal and emotional abuse.
