Child Rights Connect’s Working Group on Children and Violence, through its current advocacy strategy, aims to strengthen the Working Group’s work with different actors to advocate for better visibility and prioritisation of Ending Violence Against Children (EVAC) within the human rights mechanisms in Geneva. To this end, the WG creates this blog in order to give visibility to underrepresented EVAC issues.

The WG’s advocacy strategy builds on the report commissioned by the Working Group in 2020, which analysed how VAC issues were addressed in Human Rights Council Resolutions, as well as in the Universal Periodic Reviews and the concluding observations made by the Committee on the Rights of the Child.
