Ending violence against children as a cornerstone for a post-2015 sustainable development framework

Save the Children is focused on ensuring that the post-2015 framework clearly accounts for the needs and rights of all children, and sees the post-2015 debate and framework as a key opportunity to raise the profile of child protection – the right of all children to be protected from abuse, neglect, violence and exploitation. Save the Children believes that the post-2015 framework should include a stand-alone child protection goal to be achieved by 2030, aimed at ensuring that all children have the right to live a life free from all forms of violence, are protected in conflict and thrive in a safe family environment. The document includes specific targets and indicators to underpin the goal.
