End Violence Against Children
THE world is facing multiple challenges including children being harrassed and bullied in their communities.
Of all the young people who experience violence and abuse ,many of them are girls and few boys who know where to seek guidance when it comes to being abused.
The causes of child violence are that of being the victim of physical abuse and exposure to violence in the home and community as well as being the victim of bullying.
According to World Health Organisation Global Status Report on Preventing Violence Against Children 2020, nearly all countries 88 percent have key laws in place to protect children against violence and less than half of countries 47 percent were being strongly enforced.
In just five days in California, 128 illegal aliens were arrested for crimes including sexual offenses against children and homicide thus according to the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Moreover, Unicef's celebrity advocate Ayushmann Khurrana recently said, "Violence against children is pervasive, but how often do we hear about it being reported or discussed? We need more and more people acknowledging that violence happens, taking steps to end violence as well as report it."
Media practitioners need to continue ensuring that they raise awareness to reduce some forms of abuse to children especially females.
All reports of child sexual abuse or violence must be directed to the police on the day that the information comes to the attention of the probation officer.
