ANALYSIS OF THE DYNAMICS AND CONSEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE AGAINST VULNERABLE PEOPLE : « CASE STUDY OF THE CHILDREN »

Abstract

The child is a human being with rights and dignity. Children's rights are human rights. Because of their fragility and vulnerability, they must also be subject to specific protection. Protecting them means providing them with an environment that protects them from all situations exposing them to mistreatment.  Violence against vulnerable people, especially children, is a complex and persistent social problem on a global scale. This article aims to analyse the dynamics, forms and consequences of such violence, international protection mechanisms, as well as prevention and intervention strategies.  Using a multidisciplinary approach, we examine the individual, family, community and societal factors that contribute to the perpetuation of this violence, as well as the devastating effects on the physical, mental and emotional health of victims. We also highlight barriers to detecting and reporting such violence, as well as gaps in support and protection systems.  Finally, we discuss the implications for public policy and propose recommendations to improve prevention, awareness, and access to support services for vulnerable people.
