skepticism, the street-children quickly realized that here was someone who
sincerely wanted to help, without asking anything in return. During that summer they made about 4,000
sandwiches, and when the institutions reopened Arne had no inclination to
stop the work. The drug-addicts, prostitutes, criminals, homeless and
alcoholics had become "their kids" - whatever their ages. Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children

chronic poverty remains the single biggest obstacle to meeting the needs of
children and protecting and promoting their rights. Poverty is a breeding
ground for human rights violations, and it also gives rise to conflict and
child abuse. Conflict in turn reinforces poverty. We must intensify our efforts
in conflict-prevention, humanitarian assistance, peacebuilding
and long-term development co-operation. Norway will allocate more to
development, and will seek to persuade other donor countries to do the same.
