CRC/C/HND/CO/3 page 12 (b) Services for the physical and psychological support of victims of violence are insufficient. 52. The Committee urges the State party to strengthen its efforts to prevent and combat ill-treatment of children within and outside the family and reinforce the mechanisms monitoring the extent of all forms of violence, injury or abuse, neglect, maltreatment or exploitation covered by article 19, including within the family, schools, in institutional or other care. The State party should also ensure that all children victims of violence have access to counselling and access to appropriate recovery and reintegration services. 53. With reference to the United Nations study on violence against children, the Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Take all necessary measures for the implementation of the overarching recommendations contained in the report of the independent expert for the United Nations study on violence against children (A/61/299), while taking into account the outcome and recommendations of the Latin American Regional Consultation on Violence against Children, held in Buenos Aires from 30 May to 1 June 2005; (b) Use these recommendations as a tool for action, in partnership with civil society and, in particular, with the involvement of children, to ensure that every child is protected from all forms of physical, sexual and mental violence and to gain momentum for concrete and, where appropriate, time-bound actions to prevent and respond to such violence and abuse; (c) Seek technical cooperation in this respect from, inter alia, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, UNICEF and the World Health Organization. Corporal punishment 54. The Committee is concerned that article 191 of the Family Code seems to authorize corporal punishment in the home and that there is no explicit prohibition of corporal punishment in alternative care settings. 55. The Committee recommends that the State party, taking into account the Committee’s general comment No. 8 on the right of the child to protection from corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment (2006), introduce - and enforce where applicable - legislation explicitly prohibiting all forms of corporal punishment of children in all settings, including the home. The State party should also conduct awareness-raising and public-education campaigns against corporal punishment and promote non-violent, participatory methods of child-rearing and education. 6.
