Study on Violence Against Children in South Africa – Special Summary for Teens

All children in the country have the right to be protected from abuse, violence and things that could harm them.

The Bill of Rights in the Constitution of South Africa makes this very clear and so do the laws of the country, such as the Children’s Act and Child Justice Act.

The Government is very serious about the protection of all children in the country, and that is why they wrote this report on why children experience violence and abuse. When we know why children are victims of abuse and violence, we will be able to make better plans to ensure it stops.
