A recent study from the University of Freiburg reveals alarming statistics about psychological violence against children in Switzerland, with one in five children regularly experiencing such trauma. While a growing number of parents report never using psychological violence, the frequency of harmful language has also increased. Experts link this rise to pressures during the pandemic and stress the urgent need for awareness and prevention campaigns. The Swiss government is considering formally including a ban on all forms of violence in the civil code, emphasizing that legislative change must be coupled with societal education to combat this pervasive issue.
