Protection of children against sexual exploitation and sexual abuse
WHAT WE KNOW
About 1 in 5 children in Europe are victims of some form of sexual violence
In 70% to 85% of cases, the abuser is somebody the child knows and trusts
OUR RESPONSE
Set common standards and objectives → L a n z a r o t e C o n v e n t i o n
32 States parties to date; open for accession by any country
Raise awareness: One in Five Campaign (KIKO + The Underwear Rule)
Directorate of Human Dignity and EqualityProtection of children against sexual violence
THE LANZAROTE CONVENTION: a comprehensive human rights treaty P r e v e n t sexual violence (in all settings)
P r o t e c t the rights of child victim (including by ensuring access to child friendly justice)
P r o s e c u t e the perpetrators (including when crime is committed abroad)
P r o m o t e national and international co-operation
In achieving the above “4Ps”, the well-being & best interest of any child should be upheld without any discrimination & children’s views should be taken into account.
