CRC/C/LVA/CO/2 page 5 Dissemination of the Convention 18. The Committee notes with appreciation that in response to its previous recommendations, the State party included information about children’s rights in school curricula and projects, and that it translated into Latvian and published the Implementation Handbook for the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Committee also acknowledges the efforts of the State party to train professionals working for and with children, yet it remains concerned that professionals working with children, parents and children themselves have limited awareness of the Convention. 19. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Continue its efforts to disseminate the Convention in all relevant languages, and also through the use of child-friendly materials and school curricula in primary and secondary schools; (b) Expand its programmes to sensitize children and parents about the Convention; and (c) Increase its efforts to provide adequate and systematic training on children’s rights for professionals working with and for children, including judges, lawyers, law-enforcement personnel, teachers, health-care professionals and social workers. 2.

The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Undertake effective measures to ensure that all children within its jurisdiction enjoy the rights enshrined in the Convention, in accordance with article 2, including through the adoption of legislation, which specifically prohibits all forms of discrimination; (b) Undertake comprehensive public education campaigns to prevent and to combat negative social attitudes and behaviour based on sex, age, race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, disability; and
