They are whipped or kicked for hours, given electrical shocks, sexually abused, beaten on the soles of their feet, or their eyes gouged out or mutilated in other ways. In some cases children are made to watch as their parents are tortured. Some times children are tortured in front of their parents to force confessions or as a form of psychological torture.

Claim

The torture of children is an abhorrent violation of human rights that demands urgent global attention. It inflicts unimaginable physical and psychological harm on the most vulnerable members of society, robbing them of their innocence and potential. This atrocity not only devastates individual lives but also undermines the moral fabric of our communities. We must unite to condemn and eradicate this heinous practice, ensuring that every child is protected and nurtured, not subjected to cruelty.
