With regard to furthering the inclusion of children's voices in matters that affect them, we have collaborated with the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund and instituted an annual Children's Parliament to provide children with a platform to report on how civil society is responding to their rights. We went to the Gauteng legislature in 2011. Last year we went to Mpumalanga. In both sessions, children pleaded with us to address the scourge of violence and abuse. This year the Nelson Mandela Children's Parliament will be held in the Eastern Cape in partnership with the Eastern Cape provincial government and legislature.
