East Asia and the Pacific: Violence against children in ASEAN countries - Applying international standards

Children are exposed to violence in all the world’s countries. It can threaten them in all spheres of their lives: at home; at school; at work; in the community generally; and within institutions. This research, conducted for UNICEF by Coram Children’s Legal Centre, assesses national laws on violence against children in the 10 member states of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to see if they comply with international standards – especially with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC).
