A report from the U.N. says violence（暴力）against children is widely around the world. The report says about 95,000 young people were killed in 2012. It also says among those people, most of them live in poor and middle-income countries.

Violence against children exists, although we may not always see it. The report examines violence against children in 190 countries. An official from U.N. says children are at risk everywhere. She says the danger exists in every economic and social situation, culture and others. It happens in places where children should be safe: their homes, schools and communities. Increasingly it happens over the Internet. And it is done by family members and teachers, neighbors and strangers and other children.

Violence often starts in the home. Researchers found almost one billion children suffer physical punishment from parents and caregivers. They said children also suffer violence at school, with one in three young people saying they suffered physical punishment from their teachers.

The report’s writers said we must take steps to protect the children. They said we should try our best to reduce the threat（威胁）of violence in the home. They said necessary services also should be provided for children who have suffered psychological or physical punishment. And they advised that we should make proper laws and policies to protect children.
