Ending Violence Against Children: Sexual, Corporal and Psychological Violence Policy Brief

World Vision Bangladesh's baseline survey done in 2018 shows that 50.8% of children aged 0-4 years experienced physical punishment and/or psychological aggression by
caregivers. The same survey showed that 51.0% of children aged 5-17 years experienced physical punishment and/or psychological aggression by
caregivers. Sexual violence against children in Bangladesh is also experiencing an increase. 

To address this violation of child rights, World Vision Bangladesh has devised a set of policy paths forward which calls for a unified approach with the government and other stakeholders and partners to ensure child protection in the country.
