VIOLENCE...a word that may brings to your mind a gruesome scene of an angry person hitting an innocent individual.
Or it may give you an image of a woman crying helplessly after being raped by an unknown man.
What if it brings you to a scene where a little kid is sitting at the corner of a room sobbing quietly after being beaten and scolded by his drunk father???
Violence against children is an issue that has been discussed since a long time ago and continuous efforts have been done to help free these children from this kind of suffering. Various campaigns have been done globally but cases regarding violence against children still happen until today.
Do you know that violence and neglect against children is reported - on average of every 10 seconds?
Because of there are many cases of child violence and neglect that go unreported, it is estimated that the actual number of child victims is 3 times greater.
Even in the USA, children are more apt to die from violence and neglect than from accidents.
Child violence permanently disables 18,000 children and youth every year and seriously injures 565,000 children every year.
So, what we can do? Are we just going to close our eyes and keep our arms folded?
Definitely not!!! We should join hand in hand in the name of GYS to bring back colours to the life of these little ones...
