General Comment No. 13 (2011) explains how CRC Article 19 should be interpreted and implemented to protect children from all forms of violence. It gives a more detailed legal and practical framework for preventing violence, protecting child victims, and improving state responses under a child rights approach. It emphasizes proactive primary prevention, better care and protection systems, and coordinated implementation rather than reactive or fragmented intervention alone. It also aims to make implementation more concrete by encouraging measurable indicators covering structure, process, and outcomes, along with stronger monitoring, evaluation, research, and reporting. The broader goal is a paradigm shift in child protection priorities, policy, and practice worldwide
Entities responsible for implementation: UN Committee on the Rights of the Child
