Korean Committee for UNICEF launched a campaign in partnership
with BTS and Bit Hit Entertainment to stop all forms of violence against children
and being part of the UNICEF initiative “#ENDviolence”.

#ENDviolence is a promise of a better future to children and to ensure safety
and protection for our children from all forms of violence.

Children suffer significant violence within their
homes and in schools, places where children should
feel safe, protected and be taken care of.

Every 5 minutes,
1 child dies as
a result of violence.
About 10% of girls
suffer sexual violence.
About 30% of students
are regularly subjected
to bully at school.

Corporal punishment that children experience in the context of home and
school can lead to lifelong consequences for their health and development.

If current trends continue, close to 2 million children and
adolescents could be killed by an act of violence by 2030.

“My mother always physically punishes me. If I run away from her,
she will find me and beats me harder. I couldn’t bear it anymore.”

80% of children below the age of 14 suffer physical punishment in
their homes on a regular basis. Children exposed to corporal
punishment at home have higher potential to experience difficulties
in their life in accordance with lack of social skills and depression.
