Children deserve to grow up safe and free from harm. Every child has the right to a safe and happy childhood. Gender-Based Violence doesn’t just affect adults—children can also be victims. This includes:
- Physical abuse like hitting or harsh punishments.
- Sexual abuse like exploitation or harassment.
- Neglect when children’s basic needs like food, education, or care are ignored.
- Emotional abuse like threats, insults, or witnessing violence at home.
By protecting children from Gender-Based Violence, we are building a stronger, healthier future for everyone. Let’s act together to keep our children safe. 💛
