                                                            CHILD  ABUSE
 I chose this topic because I think our work as teachers in some way is to prevent and stop this from happening… first it is important to remember that:
“Child abuse is considered any form of violence or injury inflicted upon children, which can affect or diminish their physical or psychological evolution, and which hinder them from reaching a healthy development and emotionality. It is an aggression behaviour including all the members of a society through long time ago, therefore becoming a social pathology with many severe consequences”
7 of each 10 children are victims of violence in our country! How It can be this possible? ... In the areas of child between 5 and 9 years the most maltreatments comes from their parents… This is really alarming Every time I hear about child violence.. Makes me angry much!!, I can’t understand how there are people capable of hitting someone as helpless as a child, whatever the reason .. no excuses! It's horrible!
       What can we do as future teachers to help solve the serious problem of child abuse?
In my opinion I think is very important to inform schools about child abuse because it allows children to know their rights …What do you think?
Well…to finish here is a video that is intended to raise public awareness about the harmful consequences that child abuse cause in children and adolescents, UNICEF launched a campaign to eradicate violence against children, whose central theme is: "Any form of abuse leaves a mark"
