What is sexual violence on children?
I feel it is important to define sexual violence on children. There seems to be no universal definition of what sexual violence or sexual abuse is. Let's go from macro to micro, from international to local.

I've separated this NGO from the part 2 discussion, because it goes much further then just sexual violence against children.
SWITZERLAND HAS NO INDEPENDENT BODY WITH EXPERTISE OR AUTHORITY INSIDE ITS BORDERS WHEN IT COMES TO CHILD SEXUAL VIOLENCE.
You'll however find many justifications in the Swiss parliament work, claiming Switzerland does not need an independent expertise body because it believes there are so many NGO's in Switzerland doing the job for them
I herewith copy the recent correspondence with the Attorney General of Switzerland.
Following yesterday's posts I feel like sharing the UN's verdict on Switzerland's reports.
I need to vent. Last weekend the aha erlebnis as I wrote about, and today this.
In a matter which I consider extremely sensitive if not explosive,
The boring part... There are a number of international conventions we first need to mention, before we can get into the story of how Switzerland is structurally and knowingly violating its international obligations to protect children from sexual violence.
As usual, Switzerland is first to know and influence the rule of international law and praxis. This is no different in matters of sexual violence perpetrated on children.
Switzerland is used to doing the opposite of what it dictates the world to do.
I feel this deserves a small, albeit separate post from the previous one, as it is a forgotten cornerstone in whistleblowing. Any person can be a whistleblower.
People, and sometimes laws, argue a whistleblower is exclusively an employee who during his work is confronted with wrongdoing on the job.
This is not the case,
Switzerland not only does not protect whistleblowers, its legislation provisions for their persecution. This includes hampering the freedom of the press, as journalists in Switzerland are at risk of criminal persecution when blowing the whistle. Swiss jurisprudence even allows for arbitrary persecution condemnation of those fleeing the country in order to expose Swiss wrongdoing.
How come the alleged safe guarder country of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights does not tolerate exposure of wrongdoing within its borders? And how does Switzerland actually harm the United Nations?
