Violence against young children: A painful issue
A paradox surrounds the issue of violence against children. The most severe forms of violence are generally considered more reprehensible when perpetrated against children than against adults: sexually assaulting or causing serious physical harm to a child are typically seen as the most heinous of crimes.
In this edition of Early Childhood Matters we cover this subject. The Human Dignity Initiative talks about violence in schools in Israel, and there are further contributions from El Salvador, Colombia, and Jamaica.
