A/HRC/28/56 time, she will explore new directions in which to develop the mandate based on her vision and interaction with stakeholders concerned. She will take a consultative and participatory approach in the implementation of her mandate, and will engage in constructive dialogue with Member States and relevant partners. Her intention is to act as a facilitator of actionoriented dialogue among key stakeholders. 10. The Special Rapporteur will adopt a child-centred approach in the implementation of her mandate. All activities will be developed incorporating the principles and rights enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Children will be treated as rights holders, and not as passive recipients, victims or dependants. The Special Rapporteur will use child participation mechanisms to establish a direct relationship with children to take into account their suggestions in an effective and meaningful way. She will integrate a gender perspective into her work, taking into account the different needs and opportunities of boys and girls through, inter alia, the collection and analysis of disaggregated data and the proposal of gender-specific recommendations. 11. The Special Rapporteur intends to work in close coordination with various United Nations partners who deal with violations affecting children, in particular, the Committee on the Rights of the Child and the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children. She also intends to ensure complementarity with the special procedures mandate holders who address cross-cutting issues of concern. She will deploy efforts to mainstream the protection of children’s rights within the special procedures system. The Special Rapporteur also aims at strengthening cooperation with regional mechanisms, such as the Special Rapporteur on Child Marriage of the African Union and the Rapporteur on the Rights of the Child of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. In addition, she will advocate the establishment of a permanent regional mechanism for the protection of children’s rights in Asia and the Pacific. 12. The scope of the mandate of the Special Rapporteur is determined by the resolutions on the establishment and renewal of the mandate, in particular Commission on Human Rights resolution 1990/68 and Human Rights Council resolution 7/13. The Special Rapporteur will continue to analyse the root causes of the sale and sexual exploitation of children; address all the contributing factors, including demand; make recommendations on preventing and combating new patterns of the phenomena; identify and promote good practices on measures to combat them; promote comprehensive prevention strategies; and make recommendations on aspects relating to the rehabilitation of child victims. B. Methods of work 13. For the strategic implementation of her mandate, the Special Rapporteur intends to maximize the potential of established methods of work of the special procedures system (see A/69/262, paras. 21–37). She will continue to take a holistic approach towards effectively combating the sale and sexual exploitation of children. That involves promoting the implementation of comprehensive strategies aimed at the establishment of rights-based national child protection systems. She will aim to propose specific and action-oriented recommendations, and promote good practices. 14. The Special Rapporteur will determine her thematic priorities based on the gaps and needs identified in relation to issues of concern covered by her mandate. Through her country visits, the Special Rapporteur intends to assist States in better preventing and combating the sale and sexual exploitation of children, and to enhance the preventive role of the special procedures system by highlighting situations that have the potential to degenerate into gross human rights violations. The Special Rapporteur intends to react to information on allegations of individual violations and human rights concerns regarding legislation, policies and practices that fall within the scope of her mandate through 5
