It made recommendations. 102. Concerning child labour, the delegation of Nicaragua emphasized the actions undertaken to transform the problem into a social welfare model for children. The “Love Programme” was currently being implemented with the aim of restoring the right of children to live in normal conditions and grow up with their families, and creating child development centres for the professional care of working mothers’ children, as well as ensuring the right to be registered, the right to specialized care for children and adolescents with disabilities, the rights of children of Nicaraguans who had migrated or were deprived of liberty, and the right of children to grow up without having to work. During the period 2011-2013, 568,208 families had been supported and 187,721 children under 6 had been assisted. Likewise, in the period 2010-2013, an annual average of 18,103 children and adolescent workers had been integrated into the school system. 103. On the issue of disability, the delegation indicated that the Government had achieved the modernization of the Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, eliminating the welfare approach of previous legislation. The country was making an effort to provide inclusive education and was also working on the establishment of the Office of People with Disabilities within the Office of Citizen Power with the participation of organizations working in the area of disability. 104. With regard to the situation of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex community, the delegation remarked that the Criminal Code did not criminalize the concept of hate, but instead criminalized discrimination. Discrimination based on sexual orientation was considered an aggravating circumstance. In Nicaragua, very few cases involving deaths of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex people had occurred and none of them had been considered hate crimes. The perpetrators in those cases had been prosecuted in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Code. No defender of the rights of sexual diversity had ever been disturbed in the exercise of his or her work. 105. The Special Prosecutor for the Right to Sexual Diversity ran a five-year training strategy on the right to sexual diversity for government officials, mainly members of the National Police, the judiciary and the Ministry of Education. 106. The delegation emphasized that the rights of women and fighting violence against women were priorities for the Government. The State had taken a number of actions ranging from prevention, protection and care for victims, to the criminalization of new violent behaviour against women that had not previously been criminalized. Comprehensive Act No. 779 on Violence against Women and amendments to Law No. 641 on the Criminal Code were being fully implemented. Act No. 779 criminalized femicide and other forms of violence against women. 107. To bring it into line with international standards, Act No. 779 had been amended to incorporate the principle of opportunity established in the Criminal Procedure Code. 11
