Executive summary -- Unmasking the all-too-familiar face of childhood violence -- Violent discipline and exposure to domestic violence in early childhood -- Violence at school -- Violent deaths among adolescents -- Sexual violence in childhood and adolescence -- Protecting a generation at risk -- Annex regional classifications -- Endnotes
Summary: This report uses the most current data to shed light on four specific forms of violence: violent discipline and exposure to domestic abuse during early childhood; violence at school; violent deaths among adolescents; and sexual violence in childhood and adolescence. The statistics reveal that children experience violence across all stages of childhood, in diverse settings, and often at the hands of the trusted individuals with whom they interact on a daily basis. Ensuring that violence in all its forms is recognized as a fundamental violation of children’s human rights and documented through solid data is a first step towards its elimination.
