Hardcover. Condition: New. Childhood is a time in life that should be filled with joy and imagination, and free of fear and any serious responsibility. However, for many people, this not their reality, as abuse and trauma have warped their experience of it. Canadian Red Cross defines child abuse as "any form of physical, emotional and/or sexual mistreatment or lack of care that causes injury or emotional damage to a child or youth " Emotional abuse, exposure to family violence, physical abuse and sexual abuse are all forms of child abuse. According to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, a child is any person below the age of 18. As such, just like any other person, s/he has rights. Governments should ensure that children are properly cared for and protect them from violence, abuse and neglect by their parents, or anyone else who looks after them. According to a factsheet published by the World Health Organization (WHO), abuse has many consequences. Aside from bruises and physical injuries, it can lead to development delays, drug abuse, depression, stress disorders, self-harm and many more. The fact sheet also states that parent training and home visiting programs can be implemented in order to prevent child abuse or at least help reduce child maltreatment rates. Since child abuse has become a global problem, many countries took the initiatives to deal with and solve this issue. This comprehensive book aims at a broader academic and public audience interested in the many aspects and ramifications of Children's rights and Human development. Read less.
