CRC/C/RWA/CO/3-4 (a) According to the annual statistics of the National Police, the most commonly reported form of violence is child sexual abuse and that 65 per cent of survivors treated at the Isange in Kigali are children, with 94.5 per cent being girls; (b) Child victims of sexual violence have limited access to counselling and psychological services and; (c) The State party’s report lacks comprehensive statistical data on violence against children, including sexual violence, as well as on investigations, prosecutions, convictions and penalties applied against perpetrators. 30. The Committee urges the State party to: (a) Enforce effectively legislation relating to sexual violence and abuse, and ensure that perpetrators of such crimes are brought to justice and punished with sanctions proportionate to their crimes; (b) Facilitate the expansion and strengthen the implementation of the Isange One Stop Centre initiative in all districts to respond to the shelter, health, legal and psychosocial needs of child victims of sexual exploitation and violence; (c) Establish, as a matter of urgency, effective and child-friendly procedures and mechanisms, including free helpline access for children, to receive, monitor and investigate complaints; (d) Undertake awareness-raising in all communities and among children, especially among girls, to encourage the reporting of sexual violence and abuse in schools and communities; and (e) In its next periodic report, provide the Committee with information on violence against children, in particular sexual violence against girls, and on the number of investigations, including information on the penalties against perpetrators, and on redress and compensation offered to the victims. Harmful practices 31. The Committee notes as positive that Law No. 42/1988, instituting the Family Code, sets the minimum age of marriage at 21 years. The Committee nevertheless remains concerned about the persistence of early marriages in the State party, particularly in refugee communities. 32. The Committee urges the State party, in collaboration with civil society, to: (a) Effectively enforce the Family Code to prevent and prohibit early marriage, including among refugee communities and ensure that perpetrators of such acts are brought to justice; (b) Strengthen its strategies for awareness-raising and sensitization of families, traditional or religious leaders, refugee families and the general public in order to encourage a change of attitudes towards harmful practices, such as early marriage; and (c) Put in place effective monitoring systems to assess progress towards the eradication of early marriages. Helpline 33. The Committee recommends that besides the general hotline in the country, the State party establish a specific toll-free, three-digit helpline for children which would operate nationwide and have the necessary financial, human and technical resources 8
