“We must act now to end children’s skepticism about adult promises. Children are tired of being told they are the future. They want to see us fulfill our promises in the present, and enjoy their right to be protected from violence today”.

- Paulo Sérgio Pinheiro, Independent expert
for the United Nations Secretary-General’s study on violence against children (2006)
