The aim of this child-led research project was to understand children's and young people’s perceptions about violence against children as described within the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) that seeks to end violence against children. The project was carried out by 96 child researchers aged between 12 and 17, and over 1,000 children participated in their surveys.

This report explores the implications of violence against children through the lens of child researchers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Romania and Sierra Leone.

This publication was produced with the financial support of the European Union, its contents are the sole responsibility of World Vision and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union.
