Child Abuse
Child abuse is a serious problem that involves physical, emotional, or sexual harm or neglect of children by adults. It can have lasting effects on a child's well-being, development, and mental health, and can contribute to academic problems, social isolation, and other negative outcomes. Child abuse is unacceptable and violates the basic rights and dignity of children. It is important to prevent and address child abuse through education, awareness, and effective interventions.
