It is not an easy issue to resolve, as there are three key aspects to consider: the child who is the victim, the child who is the bully, and the bystander.

That is why I emphasize that violence results from multiple factors. Unless we address all the key causes, we will neither end it nor prevent it.

What I learned in my life, it's the eyes. When you are speaking with children, when you have light in their eyes, it's still possible. When the light switches off, it’s too late.

The issue is truly significant, which is why we are strongly advocating within the Global Digital Compact. I also recently returned from the Global Cybersecurity Forum to ensure that child protection online is properly integrated.
