Welcome

The UN Secretary-General’s Study on Violence against Children was a joint initiative, directly supported by the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and the World Health Organization (WHO).
The Study Secretariat has now closed, however the Independent Expert will continue in 2007, and will present a progress report to the General Assembly in New York in 2007. To see the resolution, please click here. To contact him, please click here.

Update on Progress Report to 2007 UN General Assembly - A huge amount of inputs have been received from UN organizations and NGOs for the Progress Report on the Violence Study which is currently being drafted. Due to the late arrival of some inputs, the scheduled meeting of the Inter-Agency Group on Violence against Children has been cancelled, pending a revised timeline. The Progress Report must be submitted by 31 July according to the General Assembly schedule to allow for translation of the document, which will be presented to the General Assembly the week of 15 October, 2007.
