FIGURE 4. Adjusted prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals (bars) for student violence against children in Latin America and the Caribbean: past year student physical and emotional violence against boys and girls, by age.

Note: In-school estimates are presented adjusted by violence definitions; physical violence reference definition: “hit or hurt by another student at school.” Emotional reference definition: “something stolen from you at school, made fun of or called names at school, left out of games or activities by other students at school, made to do things you didn't want to do by other students, someone spread lies about you at school.”
