Unicef official calls for end of violence against children in Cambodia

PHNOM PENH: A senior United Nations children's fund (Unicef) official on Friday (Dec 8) called for increased efforts to end violence against children in Cambodia, as 66 per cent of children in the kingdom have experienced violent discipline.

Unicef Regional Director for East Asia and the Pacific Debora Comini (pic) made the appeal at the conclusion of her three-day visit to the country, where she met with ministry officials and development partners to advocate for enhanced efforts to stop violence against children in all settings and end unnecessary family separation.
