describe measures aimed at children in general (sometimes also emphasising the principle of non- discrimination), and a further four reports describe gender-neutral measures supplemented by some measure targeting Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Thus only seven reports to the UNECE contain sections that describe in any detail measures – in addition to efforts to combat FGM – explicitly aimed at girl children. One observation is that girl-specific information tends to occur when the Member States' reports focus on ethnic minority children, while measures targeting children in general are often discussed in gender-neutral terms. Two issues clearly placed on the Members States' political agendas and the issues most frequently discussed by the Member States' reports is FGM and violence against children. In the case of FGM, eight reports include measures such as national plans for action (AT in 2008, PT in 2009) and legal reforms (UK in 2003, LU in 2008), sometimes as part of their description of measures targeting violence against women (ES). When it comes to violence, several other forms of violence – in addition to FGM – are addressed. One is forced marriage and in the period 2004-2009 at least five MS introduced laws against this form of violence, and in at least one other MS such a reform is being discussed at the moment. The reporting to the UNECE also contains a few examples where violence in the name of honour is discussed. The most frequently recurring form of violence against children in the reporting is sexual violence, either as prostitution and/or trafficking or in relation to the internet (e.g. net security or grooming). The internet is a forum where children in general as well as girls specifically can get a voice on their own terms. But the sexual exploitation of children through the internet is clearly a major concern within the MS. As indicated by the section above, most countries that report progress in this area do not explicitly discuss these measures as intended to improve the situation of girl children in particular. One exception to this pattern is the report from Spain, which, amongst other things, quotes statistics indicating that almost nine out of ten victims of trafficking are girls. 14508/09 ADD 1 PL/vk 128 ANNEX DG G EN
In relation to the indicators adopted by the EU, some examples can be found where the MS report include information concerning sexual education (LT), body image (DK, LU) or education. One example of the latter is Austria's report on a special "girls' day" when the federal civil service offers girls a chance to acquaint themselves with new training options in future-oriented, non-traditional occupations and professions. In Germany, since 2001 on every fourth Thursday of April, technical enterprises, enterprises with technical departments and technical training facilities, universities, and research centres have been invited to organise open days for girls. The overall trend is, however, that the MS tend not to provide information related to the EU-wide indicators. The quantitative information gathered through various databases and studies is thus not supplemented by further information through the reporting to the UNECE. Some MS report measures specifically targeting ethnic minority girls; for example, the Bulgarian National Child Strategy considers the fact that in some regions and ethnic groups, from an early age girls are involved in domestic work and care for smaller brothers and sisters, at the expense of the time they should spend on education. Early marriage is another issue that is discussed. A further example of the recognition of diversity comes from Belgium where the Flemish Authority has funded policy research on the lower general wellbeing of lesbian and bisexual girls. Following from this an awareness-raising campaign has been launched to increase tolerance towards lesbian, gay and bisexual persons. In Portugal the first major study on discrimination based on sexual orientation and identity has been launched, aiming to find – through a greater perception of the phenomenon – future solutions to combat this discrimination.
