Summary: Violence is used against the
members of society least able to
protect themselves—children in
school, in orphanages, on the street,
in refugee camps and war zones, in
detention, and in fields and factories -
and is often perpetrated by those
charged with their well-being. This
report documents this phenomenon
and makes recommendations to the
UN and governments.
