Easy Targets: Violence Against Children Worldwide
Description: "This report is based on investigations conducted by Human Rights Watch since 1996 on violence against children. We carried out in depth investigations in eighteen countries in every region of the world. In doing so, we interviewed hundreds of children who have been victims of violence, members of their families, nongovernmental organizations and other advocates, officials, and other sources. To protect their privacy, the names of children in this report have been changed, unless otherwise indicated.
In our investigations of violence against children, Human Rights Watch has focused primarily on abuses in the governmental sphere although private actors also abuse children’s rights. The emphasis here is on violations of children’s rights by agents of the state and in institutions—like schools—that are state run or supported. The report also identifies violations arising through the failure of governments to take adequate steps to protect children from violence in the workplace, in the streets, and in situations of armed conflict."
