2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行影响了儿童在家庭、社区和网上遭受暴力的风险，并削弱了儿童保护系统及时发现和应对暴力案件的能力。然而，加强预防和应对暴力服务的必要性在国家和全球大流行病应对和缓解战略中没有得到足够的重视。在本文件中，我们总结了越来越多的证据，说明这一流行病与暴力侵害儿童行为之间的联系。借鉴世界卫生组织的INSPIRE框架，以消除暴力侵害儿童行为，我们说明了这一流行病如何影响预防和应对工作。对于七项INSPIRE战略中的每一项，我们都确定了应对这一流行病的措施如何改变了儿童遭受暴力的风险。我们为政府、政策制定者、国际组织和民间社会组织如何在长期COVID-19危机的背景下解决暴力问题提供了想法。最后，我们强调指出，目前的流行病如何为改善现有的儿童保护制度以解决暴力侵害儿童问题提供了机会。我们建议加强卫生、教育、执法、住房、儿童和社会保障部门的多部门协调。需要采取行动，优先重视暴力的初级预防，促进儿童和青少年在决策和方案设计过程中的核心作用。最后，我们强调，继续需要更好的数据和证据，为在COVID-19大流行期间和之后有效的暴力预防和应对战略提供信息。
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected children’s risk of violence in their homes, communities and online, and has compromised the ability of child protection systems to promptly detect and respond to cases of violence. However, the need to strengthen violence prevention and response services has received insufficient attention in national and global pandemic response and mitigation strategies. In this paper, we summarize the growing body of evidence on the links between the pandemic and violence against children. Drawing on the World Health Organization’s INSPIRE framework to end violence against children, we illustrate how the pandemic is affecting prevention and response efforts. For each of the seven INSPIRE strategies we identify how responses to the pandemic have changed children’s risk of violence. We offer ideas for how governments, policy-makers, and international and civil society organizations can address violence in the context of a protracted COVID-19 crisis. We conclude by highlighting how the current pandemic offers opportunities to improve existing child protection systems to address violence against children. We suggest enhanced multisectoral coordination across the health, education, law enforcement, housing, child and social protection sectors. Actions need to prioritize the primary prevention of violence and promote the central role of children and adolescents in decision-making and programme design processes. Finally, we stress the continued need for better data and evidence to inform violence prevention and response strategies that can be effective during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.
