Council of Europe Deputy Secretary General Gabriella Battaini-Dragoni spoke today at the opening of the 12th European Forum on the Rights of the Child, an annual conference organized by the European Commission that gathers key actors from different sectors to promote good practices in the field. Battaini-Dragoni remarked that, ‘Unfortunately, Europe is not a children’s rights safe haven: violations continue, remedies remain hard to reach and accountability is often missing. The gap is too big between our ambitions and the reality of daily life for millions of children across our continent.’
