National survey launched on violence against children

The survey aims to measure the extent of various forms of violence and their impact on children's physical and psychological health. It also seeks to identify determinants of violence based on gender and age, analyze new forms of violence, and pinpoint the contexts in which they occur, including within the family, school, public spaces, and the digital environment. The study will analyze economic, social, psychological, and educational vulnerability factors, assess the effects of violence on children's health, education, and well-being, and formulate recommendations to guide public policies and prevention and care programs.
