A/HRC/17/46
46.
The Special Adviser to the Director-General of ILO, Kari Tapiola, announced
that, in 2011, the World Day against Child Labour would focus on hazardous work.
Awareness-raising and educating the general public and the media were important in
demonstrating that children living and/or working on the street should not be viewed
as a nuisance and that they were most likely victims of the worst forms of exploitation.
Not enough was known about the phenomenon of street children; while collecting and
analysing data was essential, this must not preclude action. Sometimes, simple
administrative or legal measures went a long way to addressing common problems.
Measures in juvenile justice must include prevention, assistance and rehabilitation. It
must not be forgotten that street children were victims too.
