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. 14
