The time has come to recognise verbal abuse as a form of violence against children that is not only detrimental to their health and wellbeing but also a violation of their fundamental human rights. The work of Words Matter is instrumental in raising awareness of this critical issue and developing interventions and strategies to prevent it so that children may thrive in childhood, free from verbal abuse.
