Law must help protect children

By Gillian Mellsop | China Daily | Updated: 2013-11-19 07:01

On the eve of World Day for Prevention of Abuse and Violence Against Children, the world's media - including the media in China - are increasingly bringing to light incidences of violence against children. It's often hard to absorb the details of these deeply upsetting stories, but when you do, one of the consistent elements is that most violence occurs within or near the family, committed by people known and trusted by the child.

Violence against children is often invisible, and it takes several different forms, but its consequences usually last a lifetime. The World Health Organization's established definition encompasses: physical violence, such as spanking or beating; psychological violence, including degrading or intimidating the child; sexual violence, including any kind of sexual interaction between an adult and a child; neglect, including failure to provide adequate food and shelter.

Because the human brain is growing and changing from conception up to the mid-20s, violence against children in early years and in adolescence, even beyond, has a major impact on brain development. According to an article in The Lancet in January, 2009, global evidence demonstrates violence against children substantially contributes to child mortality and morbidity and has immediate and life-long effects on physical and mental health, school retention, academic achievement, risky sexual behavior, obesity, drug and alcohol misuse and criminal behavior, both during childhood and continuing through adulthood. Due to its high prevalence in many parts of the world, violence against children has been increasingly characterized as a global health epidemic, one that requires the same kind of public investment given to other serious public-health concerns with lifelong consequences. It is therefore highly commendable that China has committed to include violence against children as one of the definitions in planned family violence legislation.
