A/HRC/19/64
Representative will pursue her series of thematic expert consultations on priority
topics. These include the prevention of violence against children within the juvenile
justice system, and data and research on violence against children.
C.
Mainstreaming the Study recommendations in the national agenda and
strengthening partnerships with regional organizations and institutions
in support of this process
106. The effective follow-up to the Study recommendations is largely dependent on
the extent to which they are mainstreamed into the national policy and development
framework, and become a central topic of concern in the public debate. Through her
global advocacy, policy dialogue and field missions, the Special Representative will
continue to support national implementation efforts, particularly those designed to
put in place well-coordinated and resourced national agendas on violence against
children; legislation prohibiting all forms of violence against children in all settings;
and sound data and research on the forms, incidence and magnitude of violence.
107. To consolidate knowledge and advance progress, she will consolidate further
the strategic partnerships developed with regional organizations and institutions and
will host regional consultations in 2012, including in South Asia and in the Caribbean.
D.
Conducting a global survey to assess progress in the prevention and
elimination of all forms of violence against children
108. As noted above, the Special Representative launched a global survey to map
and assess progress in the implementation of the Study recommendations. Its
outcomes will inform her report to the General Assembly, in 2012, and the shaping of
a forward-looking agenda which can sustain the momentum of achievements made
and promote a paradigm shift in the protection of children from violence.
109. Despite progress achieved, the urgency of this cause has not diminished. In a
world plagued by deep economic crisis and social unrest, it is imperative to prevent
the risk of dilution of the agenda on violence against children in the face of competing
priorities. A sustained and coordinated effort remains essential to transform the
current achievements into a quantum leap forward! The Special Representative looks
forward to continuing to collaborate closely with Member States and all other
stakeholders to achieve this important goal.
