SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 98
Paragraphe
Paragraph text
Violence compromises all children's rights. It goes hand in hand with deprivation and high risks of poor health, poor school performance and long-term welfare dependency. In early childhood, the impact of violence is often irreversible. As children grow, cumulative exposure to manifestations of violence becomes a bleak continuum, spreading across children's life cycle and, at times, persisting across generations.
