Throughout the Study, <strong>children</strong>’s voices were listened to, heard, and respected. They assertedtheir right to protection from all forms of <strong>violence</strong>, and their desire to enjoy that right withoutdelay. Their testimonies describing the harm they experience as a result of <strong>violence</strong>, and theirdistress that many adults continue to accept and approve of it must prompt us to live up to ourprinciples, and to practise what we preach. We must act now to end <strong>children</strong>’s scepticism aboutadult promises. Children are tired of being told they are the future. They want to see us fulfil ourpromises in the present, and enjoy their right to be protected from <strong>violence</strong> today.Paulo Sérgio PinheiroGeneva, Fall 2006XIX
