A/HRC/25/47
VI. Looking ahead
137. The present report presents an overview of strategic developments promoted
by the Special Representative in advancing progress in the implementation of the
Study recommendations. These initiatives have helped to further consolidate
commitment to children’s protection from violence and strengthen advocacy, legal
and policy action for violence prevention and elimination.
138. In line with the priorities set out for the second term of the mandate, the
Special Representative enhanced efforts to anchor the Study recommendations in the
national policy agenda; to tackle concerns associated with violence prevention and
elimination in the justice system; and to promote the inclusion of children’s protection
from violence as a crucial dimension in the post-2015 development agenda.
139. The Special Representative will continue to mobilize support for these
important efforts and for the identification of goals and targets to accelerate progress
in the protection of children from all forms of violence. We need to measure what we
treasure. And if we are to succeed, it is critical that children and young people enjoy
genuine participation in this process — not as accidental partners, but as real agents
of change.
140. The Special Representative looks forward to pursuing her collaboration with
Member States and all other stakeholders in the further strengthening of this crucial
agenda and the building of a world free from violence.
