The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has pledged its commitment to end violence against children in Nigeria. The UNICEF deputy representative, however, described violence against children as pervasive, adding that it occurred in the home, schools, work place and “online”. “We are currently re-analysing the 2014 Violence Against Children Survey (VACS) findings to gain an even deeper understanding of the drivers of violence against children. No Nigerian child should go to bed hungry. We must invest in the people by first investing in the Nigerian child,” he said.
