In our country, more than 8 million girls, boys, and adolescents live, making up 17% of the population. They are full subjects of rights to enjoy here and now and, at the same time, they are the future of our society. Since Spain ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, there have been many advances in the promotion, protection, defense, and guarantee of the rights of this essential part of our citizenship. Therefore, the National Strategy on the Rights of the Child and Adolescent (2023-2030) has been launched, establishing the vision of the country we want for 2030, with and for childhood, where the set of rights is guaranteed and is real and effective for all children and adolescents. It is not about formally guaranteeing all rights, but about achieving access to and enjoyment of them, in full equality. The mission of this Strategy is to articulate the action of the entire State and Administrations around eight strategic areas and a series of goals to be achieved by 2030, all of which are key for the full guarantee of the rights of girls, boys, and adolescents.
Regarding the Strategy for the Eradication of Violence against Childhood and Adolescence, it reflects the high degree of commitment from all levels of administration to guarantee the fulfillment and exercise of children's human rights to a life free from violence, allowing them to develop their full potential and have a happy childhood and adolescence, in compliance with Organic Law 8/2021, of June 4, on Comprehensive Protection of Childhood and Adolescence Against Violence (LOPIVI). The Strategy covers the period 2023-2030 and contains five strategic areas, for each of which an objective is set, a series of lines of action, as well as the most important measures and their respective goals to evaluate the impact. It aims to be the roadmap for different administrations, entities, and actors to work together to strengthen the prevention of all forms of violence, improve detection, and intervene early from a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach, make visible the violence against children and adolescents to understand the magnitude of this problem, generate a culture of zero tolerance for violence and good treatment, and promote the creation of environments that protect all children without any distinction.
