Children being recruited in wars or being subjugated to sexual assault, abduction, and Being denied humanitarian access are some types of common violations. As the United Nations (UN) is committed mitted to protecting the rights of children, the day acknowledges, but there are mental, physical, and emotional sufferings of children.
History of the Day
The day was established on 19th August, 1982, and commemorated by the United Nations after reports of a shocking number of innocent Lebanese and Palestinian children suffering acts of aggression surfaced during the Lebanon War. The International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression is observed to acknowledge the pain child victims suffer due to physical, sexual, emotional, and mental abuse.
In addition to being traumatized, these children are much more likely to be abusive in their own relationships when they are older, as that is what they have had modeled to them by their parents.
