The purpose of this report is to understand how violence occurs and to offer the proper tools to stop the violent behavior even before it starts. The analysis focuses on attitudes and behaviours towards violence and offers a clear perspective regarding the triggers that cause violence.

Every hour in Romania, at least two acts of violence against children are reported to the authorities. Every year, in Romania, reports of abuse increase by approximately 1,000 cases, even though the child population continues to decrease.

The lack of outside involvement into family business is the way Romanian society works - as the saying says "dirty laundry are washed within family boundaries" meaning no one gets involved if parents decide to punish the child with beatings, screamings or other punishment. It is considered to be normal to "put a child on her/his place" by applying these kind of methods.
