Child abuse, particularly physical abuse, is a massive and daily problem. The largest compiled data on violence against children which was published by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) suggest that around 6 in 10 children between the ages of 2 and 14 worldwide (almost a billion) are subjected to physical punishment by their caregivers on a regular basis.
