Behind every statistic is a child whose safety, dignity, and trust were violated. Therefore, understanding the global data helps us grasp the scale of the problem and recognize how urgently prevention and protection are needed. This article breaks down the most important research and statistics so you can stay informed and take meaningful action. The Global Scale of the Issue \u00a0 According to UNICEF, 2 in 3 children worldwide experience violent discipline, including physical punishment or psychological aggression, regularly. Unfortunately, sexual violence is also shockingly common. More than 370 million girls and women alive today were sexually assaulted or raped before age 18. As a result, these numbers remind us that abuse is not an exception, it&#8217;s a global pattern. Types of Abuse Represented in the Data Physical Abuse Includes hitting, burning, shaking, or causing physical harm. Often normalized culturally. Emotional Abuse Mocking, rejection, humiliation, threats\u2014often invisible, but deeply harmful. Sexual Abuse Any sexual act with a child, including exploitation, grooming, and online solicitation. Neglect Failing to meet a child\u2019s basic physical or emotional needs. But&#8230;Why So Many Cases Go Unreported? \u00a0 Fear of retaliation Shame or guilt Belief that no one will listen Dependency on the abuser Lack of child-friendly reporting system Most cases remain hidden, meaning real numbers are likely significantly higher. Learn about AMOV&#8230; Learn the porpoise of AMOV and how this educational card game is designed to to protect children by raising awareness and giving them a powerful voice.\u00a0 The statistics are heartbreaking and, at AMOV, we believe that by giving children that proper tools, we build a safe space where they feel powerful and ready to talk.\u00a0 Learn More Data Creates Change Statistics are not just numbers, they are signals. They show us where children are most vulnerable and what actions need to be taken. Help raise awareness by sharing this article and exploring AMOV\u2019s tools for prevention and education. And, if you do not know what to do to help a child in their healing process after witnessing or being part of a situation of abuse, the following blog post will give you an idea on how to act: \u00a0 Supporting the children\u2019s journey after abuse \u00a0 https:\/\/maria-m1-1025.wordifysites.com\/?p=573<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
