E/C.12/SRB/CO/2 (c) Provide adequate medical, legal and social assistance, including shelter, to the victims of trafficking, and ensure their access to judicial remedies. Domestic violence 26. While welcoming the criminalization of domestic violence, the Committee notes with concern the reported lack of effectiveness of the National Strategy for Preventing and Combating Violence against Women in the Family and in Intimate Partner Relationships (2011–2015), as more than half of the women experienced some form of violence. The Committee is also concerned about the high incidence of abuse and neglect of children (art. 10). The Committee urges the State party to effectively investigate, prosecute and punish all acts of domestic and gender-based violence, including abuse and neglect of children; to support victims of such acts, including by providing for adequate crisis centres that offer safe lodging and necessary assistance; to provide training to law enforcement officials and judges; and to undertake information campaigns in order to increase public awareness about the pervasive nature of domestic and gender-based violence, including abuse and neglect of children. Children without parental care 27. The Committee is concerned about the increase in the separation of children from the family. It is also concerned about the insufficient information on the efforts to provide alternative family care for children without parental care, and the fact that communitybased alternatives to institutional care are insufficiently developed (art. 10). The Committee urges the State party to: (a) Prevent the separation of children from the family, in the best interest of the child, and take steps to ensure that the childcare system provides effective support to families in crisis and at risk of child separation from the family; (b) Take further measures to provide adequate alternative family care for children without parental care, with a focus on children with disabilities; (c) Accord priority to community-based alternative social services, rather than residential institutional care, for children without parental care, and develop proactive measures for leaving institutional care. Child labour 28. The Committee notes with concern that many children, in particular Roma children, below the minimum age for employment of 15 years work in the streets and in the informal economy, and are exposed to exploitation and trafficking in persons (art. 10). The Committee urges the State party to strengthen the monitoring of child labour, in particular by enhancing the Labour Inspectorate, in order to detect and prevent the worst forms of child labour, in particular by street children. The State party should also improve protection and reintegration programmes that focus on family empowerment and elimination of various forms of abuse and economic exploitation of children, including positive parenting programmes for marginalized communities, and compile information thereon, including statistics. Poverty 29. The Committee remains concerned about the limited effectiveness of the current strategies to address extreme poverty in the State party, in particular among refugees, 9
