Child mortality continues to drop
Nedgang i barnedødeligheten
“It is heartening to see that the fight against child mortality is producing results.
– Det er gledelig at kampen mot barnedødelighet viser resultater.
UNICEF's press release

Today UNICEF published a report showing that child mortality continued to drop in 2008.
UNICEF har i dag offentliggjort en rapport som viser at barnedødeligheten fortsatte å falle i 2008.
Child mortality has declined by 28% since 1990.
Barnedødeligheten har gått ned med 28 prosent siden 1990.
This means that around 8.8 children under the age of five died in 2008, down from 12.5 million in 1990.
Det betyr at antallet barn under fem år som døde i 2008 er rundt 8,8 millioner, ned fra 12,5 millioner i 1990.

Children’s houses help children
Barnehusene hjelper barn
“I am pleased to be able to confirm that the children’s houses are functioning as intended, and that children who are exposed to violence and abuse are now receiving all the help they need at one and the same location,” says the Norwegian Minister of Justice, Knut Storberget.
– Jeg er glad for å kunne konstatere at barnehusene fungerer etter hensikten, og at barn som er blitt utsatt for vold og overgrep, nå får all hjelp de trenger på ett og samme sted, sier justisminister Knut Storberget.
To improve the assistance and treatment services for children who live in the midst of domestic violence, the government has established children’s houses throughout the country.
For å bedre hjelpetilbudet til barn som lever med vold i familien, har regjeringen etablert barnehus over hele landet.
The children’s houses have initiated the use of new methods and techniques for interviews and medical examinations that are less invasive for children.
Barnehusene har tatt i bruk nye metoder for avhør og medisinsk undersøkelse som er mindre belastende for barna.
Norway hosts the Council of Europe Conference of Ministers of Justice this year and in connection with this, Storberget has shown the children’s house in Tromsø to his European colleagues.
I forbindelse med at Norge er vertskap for Europarådets justisministerkonferanse i år, har Storberget vist frem barnehuset i Tromsø for sine europeiske kolleger.
“We must create a broad international consensus that we as Ministers of Justice have a responsibility to combat domestic violence.
– Vi må skape en bred internasjonal enighet om at vi som justisministere har et ansvar for å bekjempe vold i nære relasjoner.
In addition to increased sentences, initiatives such as the children’s houses are the best we can do to strengthen the legal protection of children who are exposed or subjected to domestic abuse,” says Storberget.
Ved siden av straffeskjerpelser er tiltak som barnehusene det beste vi kan gjøre for å styrke de overgrepsutsatte barnas rettssikkerhet, sier Storberget.
