Violence against children is a bigger problem than governments acknowledge, and in fact is often carried out by officials of the state. The Human Rights Watch report "Easy Targets: Violence Against Children Worldwide" documents beatings, torture, forced labour, sexual assault and murder by police or other law enforcement officials, employers, and teachers. The report was released in Geneva on September 28, a day which the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child devoted to violence against children. The report calls on governments to take stronger measures to protect children from abuse and urges the United Nations to undertake an international study of violence against children.
