She spoke on the occasion of the Strategy for the Rights of the Child adopted during the Bulgarian presidency of the Committee of Ministers. A high level international conference is underway in Sofia on the new strategy for the child until 2021 drawn up by the Council of Europe. Dragoni identified a range of problems including inequality in terms of opportunity, violence against children, children’s rights in the digital environment and the rights of migrant children especially unaccompanied ones.
