Violence has become a daily lesson for far too many students around the world. Children's lives, futures, and the future of their communities may all suffer negatively as a result of violence in schools. But with community support one can still change that.

One can still raise their voice against violence to establish secure environments where children and young people can live and study without fear.

Anywhere in the world, children can experience neglect, abuse, violence, and exploitation. While some abuse may occur on school grounds, the majority of it occurs in homes and other places where children are not in school. A student in your class could become a victim of abuse, assault, or exploitation that takes place outside of the classroom. You can't dismiss it. Instead, you need to assist the child. This is also feasible but only if you can see that there is an issue, take the time to comprehend it, and look into potential remedies. So, in order to stop and address school violence, parents too have a very critical role to play.
