A/HRC/37/48 family, at times trying to earn an income in dangerous places and activities, where they are at risk of additional harm. 31. The lack of a nurturing environment, the need to work, the absence of social protection and the weak capacity of the education system to accommodate and support children with a parent deprived of liberty may all lead to learning difficulties, absenteeism and eventual drop-out from school. 32. Children nonetheless do not lose hope and, especially those who are younger, are resilient and remain positive about their future. They also convey important recommendations for action. They appreciate being able to visit and maintain a bond with their detained parents, even if entering a prison is often a traumatic experience. They want better quality and longer visit times with more humane and dignified treatment. They call for safe spaces for dialogue with their parents in detention, and for safe and supportive environments where they can talk about this secret aspect of their life. 33. The children in the focus groups stressed the need for measures to prevent and address violence whenever it is committed, including an urgent change to arrest and search procedures. The arrest of a family member can be a brutal experience; it is no surprise that children believe that the police should in no case be allowed to enter a house and beat parents in front of a child. 34. Moreover, children call for psychosocial and financial support for children and their families, and for a welcoming and protective education system for the children affected. B. Strengthening partnerships to support the implementation of the 2030 Agenda 35. To accelerate progress in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, the Special Representative promotes engagement with United Nations partners, national Governments, regional organizations, civil society, faith-based organizations, the private sector, the media and child-led networks. Strategic partnerships include the Global Partnership to End Violence against Children, Alliance 8.7 (Global Alliance to Eradicate Forced Labour, Modern Slavery, Human Trafficking and Child Labour), the Global Youth Partnership for the Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Alliance for Reporting Progress on Promoting Peaceful, Just and Inclusive Societies. 36. Partnering with faith-based organizations is a priority for the Special Representative. Religious leaders are important allies in the promotion of the recommendations made in the United Nations study, helping to foster dialogue and to promote change in practices that perpetuate violence against children, and encouraging the use of non-violent forms of discipline within places of worship and religious communities at large. As Pope Francis highlighted on Universal Children’s Day and during the audience he gave to the Special Representative in March 2017, the international community should be vigilant in protecting children from violence and ensuring that every girl and boy grows up in serenity and with confidence in their future. 37. The fifth Forum of the Global Network of Religions for Children, held in May 2017, in Panama City, placed these concerns at the heart of its agenda. The Forum brought together more than 500 leaders of the world’s faith and spiritual traditions to increase understanding of the scale of violence against children and its impact on them, to identify ways religious leaders could help to tackle it, and to enhance the commitment of faith communities to prevent and reduce violence against children. 7
