Violence against children and adolescents is a widespread problem, with broad proportions and very serious effects. Despite its prevalence, it can go unnoticed, be ignored, and even intentionally hidden for multiple reasons. Often, victims of violence do not have access to quality services tailored to their needs and protective of their rights, leading to secondary victimization and complicating or preventing the recovery process. The difficulties multiply when it comes to children and adolescents in vulnerable situations, such as those with disabilities or in situations of social exclusion. Understanding the reality allows us to systematically and clearly assess the state of the matter rigorously and with evidence, it is an exercise in transparency towards the public and, at the same time, an exercise in honesty (internal and networked) that allows all agents, bodies, and organizations to learn and make decisions consistently.
For this purpose, the Strategy for the Eradication of Violence against Children and Adolescents has been created.
Vision. This strategy is a set of measures we need to launch to comply with the LOPIVI and END violence against children and adolescents.
Mission. With EEVIA, we address 5 challenges to achieve this, called Strategic Areas.
