Paragraph
Child participation 2012, para. 23
- Paragraph text
- In accordance with article 17 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a child has the right to gain access to appropriate information and material. Gaining access to information is often the first step in the participation process, given that it allows an informed child to voice his or her opinion. In the context of the sale and sexual exploitation of children, this information is often delicate and must therefore take into consideration, and sometimes challenge, cultural and context-specific sensitivities. It is equally important, targeting the children who are most at risk and hard to reach, to ensure the broad geographical and linguistic reach of information tools and mechanisms. Consideration must also be given to the particular communication needs of children with disabilities.

Paragraph
Joint report with SRSG Violence against Children on child-sensitive complaint mechanisms 2011, para. 90
- Paragraph text
- Research data is limited, but some evidence indicates that children with disabilities may be up to five times more likely to experience physical, psychological, or sexual violence, less likely to be addressed by prevention programmes or to attract targeted protection services, and less able to challenge or protect themselves from incidents of violence. This explains, inter alia, the special barriers in accessing justice and being accepted as credible witnesses, and the pervasive impunity of abusers. The universal ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities will be an essential step to secure the protection of these children from violence.
