CRC/C/15/Add.99 page 7 recovery and social reintegration of victims, in accordance with article 39 of the Convention, and the prevention of criminalization and stigmatization of victims. The Committee also recommends that the State party implement its proposal to introduce legislation making the reporting of child abuse mandatory and to undertake legal reform to ensure that boys are protected. The Committee recommends that the State party seek technical assistance from, inter alia, UNICEF. 23. The Committee expresses its concern at the lack of policies and programmes aimed at mother and child interaction activities within the home to promote leisure and creative play for children, particularly those under the age of two years. The Committee notes that such activities have a crucial bearing on the development of the child's cognitive abilities and their social and emotional development. In light of article 31 of the Convention, the Committee recommends that the State party undertake studies on play involving mother and child interaction with a view to developing adequate programmes and policies in this regard. 24. The Committee notes with concern the health situation of children in the State party and is particularly concerned at the high child and infant mortality rates, poor breastfeeding practices, the high rate of malnutrition, the increasing incidence of stunting and limited access to safe drinking water, especially in rural communities. The Committee encourages the State party to develop comprehensive policies and programmes to reduce the incidence of child and infant mortality, to promote and improve breastfeeding practices, to prevent and combat malnutrition, especially in vulnerable and disadvantaged groups of children, and to consider requesting technical assistance for the Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses and other measures for child health improvement from, inter alia, UNICEF and WHO. 25. The Committee expresses its concern regarding the limited availability of programmes and services and the lack of adequate data in the area of adolescent health, including accidents, suicide, violence and abortion. The Committee is particularly concerned at the high and increasing incidence of teenage pregnancy, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). The Committee recommends that the State party increase its efforts in promoting adolescent health policies and strengthening reproductive health education and counselling services. The Committee further suggests that a comprehensive and multidisciplinary study be undertaken to understand the scope of adolescent health problems, including the special situation of children infected with, affected by or vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and STDs. Additionally, it is recommended that the State party undertake further measures, including the allocation of adequate human and financial resources, to develop youth-friendly care and rehabilitation facilities for adolescents. 26. The Committee notes the recent initiative by the State party to include children with disabilities in the primary school system. In this regard, the Committee further notes the recent introduction of a family/community-based approach to care programmes for children with disabilities. The Committee expresses its concern, however, at the absence of legal protection and the lack of adequate facilities and services for persons with disabilities, including children.
