Innocenti Digest Children and COVID-19 Research Library Quarterly Digest: October 2021 AUTHOR(S) Alessandra Guedes; Floriza Gennari Published: 2021 Innocenti Digest Even before COVID-19, over 1 billion children (aged 2–17 years) reported experiencing sexual, physical or emotional violence every year. Across their lifetimes, 1 in 3 women are subjected to physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner or sexual violence from a non-partner. Violence against children and against women are highly interconnected. Children who witness or experience violence are more likely to perpetrate it or be victimized in adulthood, thus continuing the cycle of violence.This digest highlights 13 newly curated research papers on the topic of COVID-19 and violence against children, selected based on criteria such as relevance to children's rights; a diversity of research methodology; and insights from low- and middle-income countries. + - Cite this publication | Tags: COVID-19, violence against children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Alessandra Guedes; Floriza Gennari 2021 Children and COVID-19 Research Library Quarterly Digest: October 2021.

Innocenti Working Papers The Impact of Community Violence on Educational Outcomes: A review of the literature AUTHOR(S) Cirenia Chávez; Marcela Aguilar Published: 2021 Innocenti Working Papers In recent decades, violence in and around schools has become a serious concern in Latin America and the Caribbean. This is not a new or isolated phenomenon, nor is it limited to certain schools or countries. While much of the literature connecting violence and schools has focused on bullying, it has overlooked how violence in other environments, in families and in communities, affects children’s education and their learning outcomes. Latin America and the Caribbean is home to 9 out of the 10 countries with the highest rates of violence in the world. Yet, the prevalence of bullying in schools is one of the lowest in comparison to other regions, suggesting that this is not the most concerning form of violence impacting children’s educational experiences. This literature review summarizes existing evidence on the impacts of community violence on academic achievement as well as on other educational outcomes – including dropping out, absenteeism, truancy, enrolment and attendance – and highlights policy and research implications. + - Cite this publication | Thematic area: Education, Violence Against Children | Tags: communities, drop-outs, education, family environment, learning, violence, violence against children × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Cirenia Chávez; Marcela Aguilar 2021 The Impact of Community Violence on Educational Outcomes: A review of the literature.
