Conducted in 2015, the first-ever study of its kind in the Philippines details high incidences and various forms of violence committed against Filipino children. The responses of around 4,000 children across all socio-economic backgrounds revealed that most of the violence children experience occur in places where they ought to feel safe, perpetrated by family and friends they trust.
