Human rights activist Ali Eskan told Sham: Domestic violence against children is one of the most dangerous forms of abuse, and protecting them requires strict legal measures. Details: A lawyer and researcher in the legal and human rights context, Ali Muhammad Iskan, said in an interview with Dema News Network that the violence to which children are exposed within their families is considered one of the most dangerous forms of abuse, considering that the family is the basic environment that should provide them with protection, care and stability. Iskan explained that violence in the family negatively affects the psychological and social development of the child and weakens his self-confidence and sense of security. His danger is doubled when the attack continues without intervention, either because the child is unable to seek help for fear of the attacker or because of his family connection to him. The researcher reviewed the evidence proving torture, and pointed to physical effects such as fractures and wounds, signs of kneeling as a result of neglect, and behavioral indicators such as speech disorders and extreme fear, in addition to testimonies from neighbors, teachers and residents, and medical records and reports proving the injuries. Iskan confirmed that Child Protection Law No. 21 of 2021 is a reference for the protection of children, emphasizing the need to provide a safe place to listen to the child's statements independently and under the supervision of a psychological expert, away from the parties to the conflict and pressure, especially if the attacker is a parent. The jurist explained that the procedures for removing the child from the source of danger require the provision of safe alternative treatment by handing him over to trusted relatives or placing him in nursing homes in a manner that takes into account his best interests, while transferring him to medical and psychological tests for rehabilitation and treatment according to the assessment of the level of threat. Iskan touched on the legal and social responsibility for reporting the torture of children, noting that the law guarantees protection for whistleblowers, and warned that social norms and considerations that see violence as an internal family matter contribute to the continuation of harm and require spreading awareness. Iskan concluded his speech by emphasizing that the protection of the child must continue during and after the trial, taking into account his dignity and ensuring that he will not be subjected to pressure and threats, while providing continuous psychological support and a promise that he will not be returned to his family environment until after the danger has completely passed. for more
