In all cases, the promotion of children's rights, and in particular the sensibilisation of children themselves, must be taken particularly into account to permit children themselves to become "front-line" actors in the prevention of violations of their rights and in the development of a culture of respect for human rights.

Thus it will be necessary, for example, to ensure that officials responsible for dealing with cases receive specific training, that children are heard under conditions appropriate to their age, which should be ascertained as precisely as possible, and that alternatives can be found to detention, which merely adds to the trauma suffered by children.

СТАНОВИЩЕ на комисията по правата на жените и равенството между половете
OPINION of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality (*)
по „Към стратегия на ЕС за правата на детето”
Towards an EU Strategy on the rights of the child
Комисията по правата на жените и равенството между половете приканва водещата комисия по граждански свободи, правосъдие и вътрешни работи да включи в предложението за резолюция, което ще приеме, следните предложения:
The Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality calls on the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, as the committee responsible, to incorporate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution:
A. като има предвид, че семейната среда осигурява благоприятна рамка за защита на правата на децата, за гарантиране на здравословно развитие на тяхната личност, за развиване на техните умения и за предоставяне на възможност да придобият необходимите знания, за да упражняват своите права и да осъзнаят своите задължения и че впоследствие трябва да се положат всички усилия за подкрепа на семействата чрез подходящи публични политики, но като има предвид, че, при липса на такава рамка всички деца, включително сираци, бездомни и бежанци, в съответствие с Конвенцията на ООН за правата на детето (UNCRC) от 20 ноември 1989 г., следва да имат достъп до закрила чрез заместваща рамка, която им позволява да израснат, без да бъдат дискриминирани по какъвто и да е начин;
A. whereas the family environment provides a favourable framework for protecting children's rights, ensuring healthy development of their personalities, developing their skills and enabling them to acquire the necessary knowledge to exercise their rights and become aware of their duties, and, consequently, every effort must be made to support families by means of appropriate public policies, but whereas, in the absence of such a framework, all children including orphans, the homeless and refugees should, in accordance with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) of 20 November 1989, have access to protection within a replacement framework that allows them to grow up without being discriminated against in any way,
Б. като има предвид, че стратегията на ЕС за правата на детето следва да се основава на ценностите и принципите, заложени в Конвенцията на ООН за правата на детето (UNCRC);
B. whereas the EU strategy on the rights of the child should be rooted in the values and principles laid down in the UNCR C,
В. като има предвид, че продължителните конфликти между разделени родители имат неблагоприятен ефект върху децата;
C. whereas prolonged conflicts between separated parents have adverse effects on children,
Г. като има предвид, че правата на децата като автономни правни субекти следва да бъдат признати и че въпреки разпоредбите на националното и международното право, момичета и жени често стават жертва на правно, социално и икономическо неравенство, което оказва въздействие върху упражняването на техните позитивни и основни права, като например равен достъп до образование, обучение и здравеопазване, безопасна храна и чиста вода, както и репродуктивни права на подрастващите;
D. whereas the rights of children as autonomous legal beings should be recognised, and, despite national and international legislation, girls and women are often victims of legal, social and economic inequalities, which affect the exercise of their positive and fundamental rights, such as equal access to education, training and healthcare, safe food and clean water and reproductive rights for adolescents,
Д. като има предвид, че основните права и ценности, включително равенството между половете, трябва да бъдат съществен компонент на образованието по време на детството и трябва да формират основата на всички други етапи в живота;
E. whereas fundamental rights and values, including gender equality, must be an essential component of education during childhood and must form the basis of all the other stages of life,
Е. като има предвид, че интегрираният подход за равно третиране на жените и мъжете трябва да бъде прилаган по отношение на всички политики, засягащи деца, тъй като равенството на половете започва с признаване на равните права на деца от двата пола, което започва от първите години на живота им;
F. whereas gender mainstreaming must be applied to all policies affecting children, since gender equality begins with recognition of the equal rights of male and female children starting from the first years of life,
Ж. като има предвид, че нарушенията на правата на човека по отношение на жени и момичета имигранти под формата на т. нар. престъпления на честта, принудителни бракове, генитално осакатяване или други нарушения не могат да бъдат оправдани на никаква културна или религиозна основа и не следва да бъдат толерирани при никакви обстоятелства;
G. whereas human rights violations against immigrant women and girls in the form of so-called honour crimes, forced marriages, genital mutilation, or other violations cannot be justified on any cultural or religious grounds and should in no circumstances be tolerated,
З. като има предвид, че децата в Европа са изложени от ранна възраст на сцени на ужас, порнография и насилие в медиите, и това може да има опустошителни психологически и социални последици върху децата, като например потиснатост, депресия, засилена агресивност и проблеми в училище.
H. whereas children in Europe are exposed at an early age to depictions of horror, pornography and violence in the media, and this can have devastating psychological and social effects on children, such as anxiety, depression, increased aggressiveness and problems at school,
