E/C.12/ALB/CO/2-3 State institutions to an independent adulthood and ensure that children are supported and leave State institutions upon completion of maturity – at 18 years. 27. While noting improvements in the legislative framework, the Committee expresses its serious concern at the recent survey pointing to the prevalence of psychological violence against children, sexual abuse as well as of physical violence in the family. The Committee is also concerned at the lack of access to Child Protection Units, in particular in rural areas, to refer abuses and seek support, and the lack of budget for the existing Child Protection Units to operate efficiently (art. 10). The Committee urges the State party to take legislative, policy and institutional measures to prevent and counter psychological violence against children, sexual abuse as well as physical violence in the family. In this respect, the Committee also urges the State party to secure adequate access to Child Protection Units, in particular in rural areas, to refer abuses and seek support, and to provide an adequate budget to the existing Child Protection Units for their efficient operation. 28. The Committee is seriously concerned at the high incidence of child trafficking, including to neighbouring countries, and the subsequent exposure of children to abuse, exploitation and lack of access to education and housing (art. 10). The Committee urges the State party to develop specific preventive programmes focusing on the families which are at risk of engaging their children in trafficking and to provide adequate assistance to child victims, including re-enrolment in school and adequate shelter. The Committee also urges the State party to take effective measures to prosecute those who engage or collaborate in the trafficking of children or subsequent abuse and exploitation, and to organize far-reaching public awareness campaigns. 29. The Committee is concerned about the recent incidents of forced evictions and demolition of Egyptians and Roma’s irregular settlements, leaving families with children without any alternative housing, compensation, protection, education or health services (arts. 11-14). The Committee urges the State party to take urgent measures to consult affected Egyptian and Roma communities throughout all stages of eviction, to ensure due process guarantees and compensation and to provide in particular for adequate alternative accommodation, taking into account the Committee’s general comment No. 4 (1991) on the right to adequate housing and general comment No. 7 on the right to adequate housing: forced evictions. The Committee also recommends that the State party prohibit forced evictions in domestic legislation. 30. Noting the significant decrease in poverty, the Committee is concerned about the lack of strategies to address extreme poverty faced in particular by members of marginalized groups including minorities and about the prevalence of regional disparities affecting the enjoyment of all economic, social and cultural rights without discrimination (arts. 2 and 11). The Committee urges the State party to develop additional strategies to address extreme poverty faced in particular by members of marginalized groups including minorities and to take all necessary remedial measures to address the regional disparities that affect the equal enjoyment of economic, social and cultural rights. The Committee also urges the State party to allocate sufficient funds for the implementation of these strategies, taking into account the Committee’s statement on 8
