Human Rights Violations Against Children

As a human being, the children are entitled to all the rights guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the resulting treaty. However, children also need special protection and attention. They must take care of them, defend their rights, and be able to rely on the adult world to help them extend and realize their possibilities. However, violence against children is prevalent. Violence against children and violence occur every day around the world.

The second human rights violation we review is Uganda. The resistance of the Lord led by Joseph Connie has committed infringement of the rights of children, one of the most serious human rights violations, from 1987 to the present. He kidnapped the children and made them girls into soldiers, making girls sexually slave. Many people want to find Kony, but he managed to escape and hide somehow, and his army consists of thousands of children, so no other army attacks him. The children in Uganda live in fear of being kidnapped from their families. No matter where you are, the children do not feel safe. When Connie kidnapped a child, he sometimes caused them to kill their parents. Connie has done this terrible offense as he wants more power and wants to expand his army. Almost all of his army was kidnapped. The captured children were severely punished and sometimes even killed.

Corporal punishment is the most common form of violence against children and is a violation of that human rights. In the past, some believed that violence was a type of harmless punishment that allowed parents to educate their children, others thought that violence was a violent form of corporal punishment. The movement of the European Commission "to improve your hands on blows" has brought intense debate among Member States and adopted a position of human rights for this practice. Gender-based violence is one of the most common forms of structural and cultural violence. It exists in every society, its influence affects most people. UNFPA believes gender-based violence "reflects inequality among men and women, makes it worse, damages victim's health, dignity, safety, autonomy."
