Each year nearly three out of four children around the world experience some kind of violence. A new report confirms that finding and another troubling development: Childhood violence is linked with violence against women. Children who see their mother being abused are more likely to be abused as an adult or become abusers themselves. The report is called Ending Violence in Childhood: Global Report 2017. The study was prepared for a children's rights group called Know Violence in Childhood. The organization was launched in India three years ago. The study found that childhood violence happens nearly everywhere -- in rich and poor countries alike. It affects an estimated 1.7 billion children every year.
