As a result, countless girls end up deprived of their liberty, far away from home and family visits, and placed in units together with adult women. They may find themselves in harsh conditions, in overcrowded cells or in solitary confinement. They may be exposed to sexual violence, harassment, invasive body searches and humiliating treatment by staff in detention centres. In some countries, girls may face inhuman sentencing, including flogging, stoning and capital punishment.

According to UNICEF, one in three adolescent girls aged 15 to 19 worldwide have been the victims of emotional, physical or sexual violence committed by their husbands or partners at some point in their lives. Taking place behind closed doors, incidents of violence are often associated with a culture of silence that inhibits girls from speaking out, from seeking help, accessing justice and bringing perpetrators to justice.

In the same publication, ILO expresses special concern at the largely hidden nature of domestic work and its strong association with incidents of violence. Name-calling, threats, shouting and screaming, beating, kicking, whipping, scalding, overwork and denial of food, and sexual harassment and abuse are some of the incidents acknowledged in the report. If they become pregnant, girls may be dismissed and find themselves on the streets, afraid to return home.

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 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.

Paragraph text
[Vulnerabilities and risks faced by children who are internally displaced during armed conflict – addressing their rights]: On several of her missions in recent years, the Special Representative has witnessed the deeply distressing and precarious conditions of IDPs, the vast majority of whom are children and women. For instance, in November 2009, the Special Representative visited Sudan where she met with communities who were internally displaced. Many children have been displaced for years, with some of them having been born during displacement, while others were newly displaced in 2009 because of continuing armed violence. In these camps, the concerns include tensions caused by the presence of armed groups and the increase in incidents of gender-based violence. Due to lack of security, livelihoods and basic services, few internally displaced families manage to return to their place of origin. Further, during her last visit to Uganda in May – June 2010, the Special Representative spoke with victims of armed conflict and displacement in Gulu, northern Uganda, where many women and children were forced to flee in search of safety and livelihoods. Upon return to their villages, they faced multiple challenges, such as the absence of clean water, health care and education. Schools struggled with a lack of teachers, classrooms and teaching materials. Another major concern was the protection of children and young women against sexual and gender-based violence, caused by a frequent lack of rule of law in IDP return areas.

The Beijing Declaration includes nine strategic objectives to promote the elimination of all forms of discrimination, negative cultural attitudes and practices, and violence against the girl child. Over the past two decades, significant progress has been made to safeguard the rights of girls, including through strengthened legislation, policy and national plans of actions. However, as noted in the Global Survey conducted by the Special Representative's office, and other important studies, violence against girls, and overall against children and women, remains a global challenge.

With this in mind, the Special Representative pursued close collaboration with United Nations and regional partners, including advocacy for the ratification and implementation of international standards. This process is supported by the United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons and the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. By July 2013, this Protocol had been ratified by 156 countries, and more than 130 countries had legislation criminalizing trafficking. Yet, the number of convictions remains low.

Gender influences perceptions and attitudes towards violence, as well as the manner in which violence is perpetrated and experienced. Gender-based violence against girls includes differential access to food and services, domestic or intimate partner violence, sexual exploitation and abuse, deprivation of inheritance or property and harmful practices, such as child marriage, female genital mutilation/cutting and honour killing. Gender-based violence also includes specific types of violence against men and boys, including bullying, fighting, and assault and gun crime.

The risk of trafficking from situations of armed conflict is a related issue of concern for the protection of girls, including during displacement. The Special Representative welcomes the Human Rights Council's call to Governments in June 2016 to ensure that the prevention of and responses to trafficking in persons continue to take into account the specific needs of women and girls and their participation in and contribution to all phases of preventing and responding to trafficking, especially in addressing specific forms of exploitation, such as sexual exploitation. The Special Representative has also undertaken a number of initiatives to support that aim, including contributing to the report of the Secretary-General on the implementation of measures to counter trafficking in persons and addressing an event on the role of the United Nations in combating modern slavery and human trafficking in conflict, which was hosted in New York in November by the United Nations University.

WHO also released INSPIRE, a package of evidence-based strategies to prevent and respond to violence against children. Furthermore, a global study led by ECPAT-End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking in Children for Sexual Purposes was issued to shed light on and reinforce collective efforts for the protection of children from sexual exploitation in travel and tourism. And the Terminology Guidelines for the Protection of Children from Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse, adopted by an inter-agency working group meeting in Luxembourg, were released to provide conceptual clarity to actions aimed at the protection of children, close legal loopholes and address misinterpretations that may put their safety at risk .

Girls are often exposed to violence and discrimination owing to their gender, young age and powerlessness. They endure the detrimental impact of physical, mental and sexual violence in the home, at school, in the community, in institutional care and in justice institutions. Child trafficking is a crime that is on the rise and the majority of victims are girls. Despite the criminalization of female genital mutilation/cutting in many parts of the world, every year 3 million girls are at risk of enduring that practice and around 14 million girls are forcibly married, often with much older men, and exposed to high risks of sexual abuse and other forms of violence.

[The urgency of safeguarding children's freedom from violence has certainly not diminished and the magnitude of this phenomenon remains high and deeply distressing. Significant United Nations reports illustrate this well:] Early and forced marriage affects countless children around the world. Girls are particularly at risk. According to the 2014 UNICEF publication Ending Child Marriage: Progress and Prospects, more than 700 million women worldwide were married before their eighteenth birthday; and more than one third entered into union before the age of 15. Girls living in rural areas or belonging to the most impoverished families face the highest risk.

Violence against children is not a new topic in the development agenda. It is a core dimension of the right to freedom from fear, proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and emphasized by the United Nations Millennium Declaration and the process generated thereafter. In the Millennium Declaration, Member States reaffirmed the right of children to be raised in dignity and free from fear of violence, and expressed determination to "spare no effort in the fight against violence" (para. 8); moreover, they resolved to encourage the ratification and implementation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols, which set out the normative foundation for children's right to freedom from violence. Furthermore, during the Millennium Summit of the United Nations, States expressed their commitment to strengthen child protection systems, to enhance accountability, and to prevent and combat all forms of violence against women and girls.
