PREVENTING VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN: STANDARDS OF PROTECTION FOR MINORS IN POLAND

Abstract

Child abuse, in all its forms, is a common phenomenon. It occurs in every country and despite many measures taken, it still exists. This imposes on governments and various organizations working for children the obligation to develop strategies, rules and procedures that will provide relatively strong protection for children and young people against violence. One of the forms of protecting children against sexual exploitation and other types of violence are the Standards of the Protection for Minors, currently being introduced in Poland.
