A Familiar Face: Violence in the Lives of Children and Adolescents
2017
This report from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) offers the most up-to-date global data on four types of violence against children and adolescents: violent discipline and exposure to domestic violence, school violence, violent deaths, and sexual violence. The report notes that children experience violence most often by people whom they know and trust, usually in the home or in social environments, and explores the impact of childhood violence on well-being later in life. It asserts that all children have the right to protection against violence, and argues that documenting data on violence is a vital step towards combatting abusive actions toward children and adolescents.
