Advocacy: Child Abuse
I. INTRODUCTION
My advocacy is all about child abuse in the field of physical abusing to those children who are treated imperfectly. I just want to advocate this because sometimes I can see some children who are abused physically. And some children are died because of this. Sometimes I can see some children who are not going to their school because they have a trauma. Their mental condition is affected so their studies are also affected. So, I want to solve this problem in order to help other children.
