SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 96
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The mandate of the Special Representative draws attention to both the worst and the best aspects of humankind. The worst is that countless children are exposed to violence that is often concealed but nevertheless pervasive. Children are intentionally targeted in politically driven processes, manipulated in organized crime, obliged to flee violence in their communities, sold and exploited for economic gain, groomed online, disciplined through violent means, sexually assaulted in the privacy of their homes, neglected in institutions, abused in detention centres, bullied in schools, and stigmatized and ill-treated as a result of superstition or harmful practices. Every five minutes, a child dies as a result of violence.
