INTENTIONAL INJURIES VS. UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES

Background Information for Learners

The basic needs of mankind include food, clothing, and shelter. However, it is not
enough that we have these if we are living in fear and the uncertainty of danger every day.
Today, one rising necessity that we need to focus on is safety.

We are always exposed to dangers, whether we are young or old, rich or poor. It is
therefore necessary that we are aware of what these possible dangers are, how all of these
can affect us, and how we can prepare ourselves to prevent them from happening or
minimize their effects if they happen to us.

The convention on the Rights of the Child states that children around the world have
a right to a safe environment and to protection from injury and violence. Although the adults
should protect the child against any harm that may threaten their safety and their lives, one
cannot rely on adults all the time. Children have the responsibility and capability of shielding
themselves from the dangerous world that we live in today.

A Philippine study conducted for the development of a suicide prevention strategy

showed that commonly used methods by those who decided to end their lives include
hanging, strangulation, and suffocation.

INTENTIONAL INJURIES: TYPES AND CHARACTERISTICS

Intentional injuries are injuries resulting from violence. It can be divided into two: a.)
self-inflicted, when a person harms himself/herself on purpose; and b.) assault, when

committed by peers: (3) those that were committed by other groups: and (4) those that were
committed by the family, peers or other groups.

INTENTIONAL INJURIES VS. UNINTENTIONAL INJURIES
Background Information for Learners

Although the adults around you should protect you against any harm that may
threaten your safety and your life, you cannot rely on them all the time. You have the
responsibility and capacity of shielding yourself from the dangerous world that we live in
today.

The Convention on the Rights of Children of the United Nations states that children
around the world have the right to a safe environment and of protection from injury and
violence. The following articles are excerpts from the UN Convention on the Rights of The
Child:
Article 19 (Protection from all Forms of Violence). Children have the right to be
protected from being hurt and mistreated, physically, or mentally. Governments should
ensure that children are properly cared for, and protect them from violence, abuse and
neglect by their parents, or anyone else who looks after them. In terms of discipline, the
Convention does not specify what forms of punishments parents should use. However, any
form of discipline involving violence is unacceptable. There are ways to discipline children
that are effective in helping children to learn about family and social expectations of their
behavior-- one that are non-violent, are appropriate to the child’s level of development and
take the best interests of the child into consideration.

Article 34 (Sexual Exploitation). Governments should protect children from all forms
of sexual exploitation and abuse.

Article 35 (Abduction, Sale and Trafficking). Government should take all measures
possible to make sure that children are not abducted, sold, or trafficked.
