Sažetak
Violence against individuals during their developmental years (<18 years of age) is generally regarded as a circumstance including all forms of violence, whether perpetrated by parents or other caregivers, peers, partners, or strangers. Data from the 2018 United Nations Children's Fund report, which includes 122 countries (51% of the global population of children between 13 and 15 years of age), confirm that school violence is a global phenomenon. Primary prevention should be the goal of any strategy tackling school violence, which should typically include the promotion of protective factors at various degrees of influence, with the general aim of building a culture of peace. An effective preventive strategy in the area of school violence is multidimensional, including 4 key levels: individual, relationship, community, and social. Violence involving children in school- related environments often remains hidden, owing to the reluctance of many victims to disclose their abuse. This prevents them from seeking help to cope with their negative experiences or take action to protect themselves from further victimization. School violence can occur in both passive and physical forms, causing both bodily and psychological harm.
