Most girls and boys who are exposed to violence still live in isolation, loneliness, and fear. Many children simply do not know where to turn for help, especially when the perpetrator is a family member, caregiver, teacher or anyone else responsible for their protection." (from the Executive summary). "The Global Survey draws on a wide range of complementary sources to assess advances made toward a violence-free world for children, including information from governments, the UN system, regional organizations and civil society partners, as well as a wide range of academic studies and reports. Sources also include the voices and views of children and young peopleand well-being."
