Save the Children submission to the Consultation on the European Commission’s Communication on the Rights of the Child (2011-2014)

On 19 August 2010, Save the Children’s EU Office submitted a joint Save the Children response of the consultation on the European Union Child Rights Strategy (2011-2014), covering issues like child-friendly justice, violence against children, child poverty and child participation. The consultation is the first step to revive the drafting process of the European Union Child Rights Strategy, which the EU intends to adopt at the end of 2010. It will draw on the experience of citizens and organisations, associations, bodies, institutions, and experts who deal with the protection and promotion of children’s rights from local to international level.
