To this day, one of the greatest legal and social challenges faced by the world is the persistently high rates of violence against children. This includes sexual abuse occurring in the home, streets and even in schools.
The global community needs to step up and implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child at domestic level. This will help in addressing children’s rights abuses. The United Nations Convention has condemned a number of jurisdictions for the failure to promote, respect and fulfil the rights of children according to the “Convention on the Rights of the Child”.
