Abstract
This paper presents an overview of government commitments concerning children’s and
adolescents’ participation in the fight against sexual abuse and exploitation; children’s and
adolescents’ own recommendations to end sexual abuse and exploitation of children; and
inspiring case studies that provide concrete recommendations for strengthening children’s and
adolescents’ involvement in child protection. An earlier version of this paper was presented
as a contribution to deliberations at the World Congress III against Sexual Exploitation of
Children and Adolescents. This study has been undertaken with guidance and contributions
from the UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre, UNICEF Adolescent Development and
Participation Unit and child participation and protection practitioners from a range of
organizations in different parts of the world. (Author Abstract)
