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. 22
