With a special focus on Africa, this report by the UN Secretary General appointed a Special Representative of the Secretary General on Violence against Children (SRSG) builds upon the important work developed by the African Union and across nations in the African region, and addresses law reform in countries with plural legal systems that combine national codified law with informal and unwritten customary and religious law.
The report is designed to support the development of the CRC/CEDAW General Comment/General Recommendation on harmful practices and an African Union (AU) report on harmful practices in Africa, as well as to promote developments in other regions.
