The United Nations Secretary General’s Study on Violence Against Children | Sexual Abuse (Rape, Exploitation, Sex Tourism, Trafficking…)

PHOTO: PHILIPPINES: A girl plays a guitar as she sits with other children outside the UNICEF-assisted Nayon Kabataan Rehabilitation Centre for street children and victims of child labour and physical abuse in Manila, the capital. The girl on the right has lost her hearing and is unable to speak and seems to also suffer from trauma or another mental disability. Because she is unable to describe her experience, it is unknown what has happened to her since she has been on her own.
