Abuse and neglect 55. The Committee notes with concern the different kinds of abuse and neglect that occur in both public and private institutions serving children and in homes. The Committee is particularly concerned that girls, children living in poverty, and children living and/or working in the street endure such abuse and neglect disproportionately. 56. The Committee urges the State party to: (a) Strengthen public awareness campaigns and provide information, parental guidance, training and counselling with a view, inter alia, to preventing child abuse and neglect; (b) Increase the number of professionals working with children (including caregivers, teachers, social workers, medical professionals, members of the police and the judiciary) and ensure that they receive training on the rights of the child and their obligation to report and take appropriate action in suspected cases of violence affecting children; (c) Promote parenting programmes and skill training to enable families to safeguard the welfare and rights of children; (d) Strengthen support for child victims of abuse and neglect in order to ensure their access to adequate services for recovery, counselling and other forms of rehabilitation.
