b) Launch an all-inclusive campaign to ensure that all groups of children in vulnerable and marginalized situations, such as girls, children in street situations and talibés, children with disabilities, and children living in rural areas, are not discriminated against, particularly undertake measures to prevent obstacles in accessing primary education and lower secondary education, health care, child-focused services and mechanisms for children to seek help, support and care and to report violent incidences, and birth registration services. c) Carry out comprehensive and sustained awareness-raising campaign, particularly through advocacy and mass media as well as with the help of educational and sports institutions and after-school programmes, to shift attitudes, behaviour and social norms towards discrimination and violence against children and to encourage reporting of child abuse, violence and other meaningful actions. Right to life, survival and development 15. The Committee commends that the State Party has made tremendous strides in diminishing infant and under five mortality rates. The Committee notes that such progresses are the result of better access to malaria treatment and prevention and enhanced vaccine coverage. However, the Committee is concerned that the state party has one of the lowest stunting rates in Africa. Furthermore, the Committee takes note that the neonatal mortality rate has seen only a small decline, compared to the under-five and infant mortality rates. The Committee further realises that neonatal conditions are the leading cause of death for children under five (45%), followed by pneumonia (12%) and Diarrhea (9%). 16. Thus, the committee recommends the State Party to accelerate reductions in stunting and neonatal mortality. The Committee further recommends the State Party to control preventable diseases, such as pneumonia and diarrhea, to provide children with the appropriate nutrition for better survival, to increase accessibility of health care services to further lower mortality rate and to protect children on the street. The Committee further encourages the State Party to strengthen its effort in providing the necessary care of children living with HIV/AIDS to ensure their right to live the maximum possible. Moreover, the Committee recommends that the State Party increase efforts to ensure that antenatal services are available to all expectant mothers and that birth is assisted by skilled and trained birth attendants. 6
