BARN: Det tysta våldet. Nr 2, 2009

This edition of Save the Children Sweden’s quarterly magazine BARN focuses on the issue of child abuse in Sweden. Through interviews with adults who have experienced abuse as a child, the challenges, misconceptions, and difficulties facing children who experience abuse are revealed.

Statistics show that reported child abuse in Sweden has increased dramatically over the past 8 years. Experts argue that this might not indicate a greater amount of child abuse but rather a greater intolerance for abuse in general.

The publication continues to look at global perspectives on physical punishment of children, from the UK to Lebanon.
