Tbilisi: The representative of the UNICEF( united nation International Children Emergency Fund) in Georgia spread awareness about the violence against children. The agency is also using the social media platforms for this purpose.
As per the agency violence against children is a serious global problem. Every year millions of children are subjected to various kinds of violence. Sometimes due to the constant abuse children are forced to take serious steps like suicide etc.
The agency recently posted in a Facebook post that “ Everyone knows that violence against children is unacceptable. However understanding the term is often the problem. Some think violence can only be physical.
Let’s see together what forms of violence exist so that we can fight them more effectively: Physical, Psychological, Sexy, forced to Neglect, Some of them are easy to notice and understand, and some – complex and hidden”.
UNICEF Georgia has launched many initiatives in the past years to make eliminate this serious social evil. It is also to be added that a large number of organisations have become part of these awareness drives to prevent children from any kind of violence.
There are many misconceptions regarding violence against children as most people think only about physical violence whereas many children face sexual violence, economic violence, bonded labour kind violence, etc.
It is also to be added that most of the time children face the difficult phase of their life when they are stuck in conflict zones.
At present, many countries and regions have been facing the bilateral. Multilateral or many other regional conflicts. Children are the most vulnerable section in these conflict zone areas.
Conversely, UNICEF and many other regional and international organisations are also leading the initiative against violence.
Similarly UNICEF Georgia is also working to make the lives of children safe and actively working to prevent children’s rights violations.
