TW: child abuse

November is #ChildSafetyProtectionMonth & it may sound cliché, but there is nothing more important than protecting our children from harm. 

According to the UNHCR  @refugees, there are 4 types of child abuse:
1️⃣ Physical,
2️⃣ Emotional, 
3️⃣ Sexual, or
4️⃣ Neglect
You may think it's obvious if someone is being abused but it often goes unseen &, therefore, unreported. It is especially important to check on members of our community during #COVID19, w/ an increase in domestic violence & abuse across the world.
