Frequent cases of sexual assault on children fretted all. The First Children's Embassy Megjashi indicate that the silence and taboos about sexual abuse against children is now crumbled.

Frequent reactions to crack down on pedophiles, requirements for revocation of parental rights abusers parents and greater accountability of state institutions, raised the threshold of intolerance towards rape.

The Ministry of Interior informed that in the first six months of the year were recorded 30 criminal offenses: sexual assault on a minor who does not age 14 years.

We have five applications for displaying pornographic material to a minor not turned 14 years old, four rapes and one application to satisfy sexual desires before dishonor and another disabled person," according to the Interior Ministry.

They say that the fight against sexual abuse of children requires a multidisciplinary team approach and through cooperation of NGOs and state institutions, especially the CSW, the judiciary, ombudsman, police and schools.

It involves synchronized and joint preventive action of all factors that have a stake in education and care for children, such as family, state institutions, civil organizations, point of the First Children's Embassy in the world.(Mn.T-G.A)
