CRC/C/KGZ/CO/3-4 (a) Take all necessary measures to prevent the abuse of children by raising the awareness of the public on the negative impacts of such abuse on child’s health and development; (b) Investigate and prosecute those responsible for child abuse in families, alternative care settings and schools and ensure that victims of abuse have access to complaints procedures, counselling, medical care and other recovery assistance as appropriate; (c) Establish temporary foster families and crisis centres for such children and a mechanism for referring children to them, as well as allocate sufficient resources in order to provide children with the necessary medical, psychological and social support. Corporal punishment 32. The Committee notes that corporal punishment is unlawful in schools, penal institutions and residential care institutions, but is concerned that the implementation of the laws prohibiting corporal punishment is ineffective. The Committee also regrets that corporal punishment is not expressly prohibited in the home and in foster and day care. 33. In the light of its general comment No. 8 (2008) on the right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment, the Committee urges the State party to prohibit in law the use of all forms of corporal punishment in all settings, in particular in the home and foster care, and provide for enforcement mechanisms under its legislation, including providing appropriate sanctions in cases of violation. It also recommends that the State party strengthen and expand awareness-raising and education programmes and campaigns, in order to promote positive, non-violent and participatory forms of child-rearing and discipline. Freedom of the child from all forms of violence 34. Recalling the recommendations of the United Nations study on violence against children of 2006 (A/61/299), the Committee recommends that the State party prioritize the elimination of all forms of violence against children. The Committee further recommends that the State party take into account general comment No. 13 (2011) on the right of the child to freedom from all forms of violence, and in particular: (a) Develop a comprehensive national strategy to prevent and address all forms of violence against children; (b) Adopt a national coordinating framework to address all forms of violence against children; (c) violence; Pay particular attention to and address the gender dimension of (d) Cooperate with the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children and other relevant United Nations institutions. Sexual exploitation and abuse 35. The Committee is seriously concerned about: (a) The growing number of cases of sexual exploitation and abuse of children; (b) The culture of covering up problems of sexual violence in public educational and medical facilities and even in bodies responsible for child protection; 7
