A/HRC/32/9 and comprehensively address violence affecting children and adolescents had been established in 2013 in follow-up to the United Nations Study on Violence against Children. It was composed of State institutions and civil society organizations that worked together to prevent violence against children and to protect and care for children who were victims of violence. A bill was being drafted to protect children from all forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, including corporal punishment, and to foster good practices when it came to bringing up children. There was a toll-free 24-hour helpline available to children through which they could make complaints and receive guidance. Legislative proposals had been made to amend the criminal framework concerning cases of sexual abuse. Paraguay had legislation in place on sex tourism, which aimed to prevent all forms of trafficking in persons, whether they took place within or outside the country, and to punish the perpetrators. Awareness-raising campaigns had been rolled out targeting State officials and citizens, particularly in boarder and touristic areas. Comprehensive programmes to provide care for victims of trafficking, including shelters, had also been established. In 2015, the legal age at which children could engage in domestic work had been raised to 18 years and legislation had codified domestic child labour as dangerous. The sale of children was criminalized and discussions were currently being held in Congress to amend legislation concerning adoption. 95. The Director General of Educational Planning at the Ministry of Education and Culture reported on the increase in funding for quality education and research since 2012. A priority area for action had been early childhood education and quality support services for children from the age of 3, a new modality of informal education, particularly in rural areas. In 2014, the rate of enrolment in primary education had reached 98 per cent. The enrolment rate for children aged between 15 and 17, however, remained a challenge. Education strategies contributed to improving children’s access to schools through investment in textbooks and the provision of educational tools for students. Paraguay was investing in technical training and diversifying educational and vocational training programmes and support. In addition, a national programme that was being implemented recognized the progressive autonomy of boys and girls, especially in the area of sexual and reproductive health education. 96. The head of the Human Rights Unit in the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare welcomed the recommendations concerning the right to health, particularly those from Belgium, Colombia, Kazakhstan, Mexico, the Netherlands, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Addressing inequalities required a strong and systematic response; the plans and programmes that had been prepared during recent years focused on a common vision and a strategic approach based on the national reality. Paraguay was implementing the National Sexual and Reproductive Health Plan for 2014 to 2018, which met the basic needs of the population. It took a human rights-based approach and focused on seven key areas that were part of the health-care policy, emphasizing access, quality and equitable health. Information was also provided on other areas, such as neonatal health-care plans, prevention and monitoring of sexually transmitted diseases, prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer, prevention of domestic and gender-based violence and care for persons affected by such violence and efforts to reduce the number of early pregnancies and the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases among young people. 97. The Adviser to the Human Rights Commission of the Chamber of Deputies reported on the process for the selection of a new Ombudsman and a Deputy Ombudsman, which would take place in 2016. The Chamber was currently reviewing two proposals that both aimed to ensure the full exercise of all rights by the population on an equal basis without discrimination, in line with the international human rights standards that Paraguay had ratified. In 2016, the Chamber would also consider draft legislation to ensure comprehensive protection of women from all forms of violence. A bill was currently being examined concerning the legal framework regulating the use of the Internet. Efforts were 11
