Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2017, para. 98
- 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.
