[INTERNATIONAL DAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN]

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women seeks to raise awareness about the increasing prevalence of this issue. Data show that one in three women experiences physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner, and that every 10 minutes, a woman is killed by her partner.

The central theme of this year’s International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women is UNiTE to End Digital Violence against Women and Girls. This highlights the various forms of violence against women and children in digital environments, as well as the importance of appropriate sanctions, given that 38% of women have experienced online violence and 85% have witnessed this form of abuse directed at others.

[WORLD CHILDREN'S DAY]

20 November – World Children’s Day – serves as an important reminder of the universal standards governing the protection of the rights of the child and of the obligation of all societal systems to act in the best interests of children. On this date in 1989, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child was adopted, establishing the key international framework for the protection of children’s rights worldwide.

The theme of this year’s World Children’s Day, “My Day, My Rights,” underscores the importance of listening to children, ensuring that they have the opportunity to express their views on the environments in which they wish to live, and recognising the value of their ideas and visions.

[PRESENTATION OF ARTICLES]

In the journal Child and Family in Contemporary Society (Vol. 2, No. 1, 2025), an article by Valerija Koprivnjak, Master of Social Work, Intern, was published under the title „The Role of Social Workers in Primary School Education – the Perspective of Professionals in the Area of Osijek-Baranja Country“.

A part of the abstract of this article is highlighted: „The school is a place that enables the early recognition and prevention of numerous developmental risks of the child and the undertaking of early social interventions that can empower not only the child, but also parents and families at risk, leading to more successful coping with personal, family and social challenges. Social workers are trained to recognise social risks and work with children and families living in poverty and at risk of social exclusion, violence, abuse and neglect. School social work is a specialised field within the profession of social work that is aimed at improving the educational and psychosocial environment in schools, with an emphasis on strengthening relationships between teachers, students and their parents. The purpose of school social work is to provide professional support and help students from families burdened with various economic, social, health, educational and numerous other risks. The paper answers the questions of what challenges professional associates working in elementary schools in Osijek County face in their direct work with children and parents, and what interventions they think should be made by social workers. (…)“.

[PRESENTATION OF ARTICLES]

In the journal Child and Family in Contemporary Society (Vol. 2, No. 1, 2025), an article by Maja Nižić, Ph.D., Assistant Professor was published under the title „Principals’ Perspectives on School Social Work in the Herzegovina-Neretva and West Herzegovina Cantons of Bosnia And Herzegovina“.

A part of the abstract of this article is highlighted: „School social work has been recognised as an important and integral part of many educational systems worldwide; however, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, school social workers remain a rarity.

This qualitative study aimed to gain insight into the perspectives of primary and secondary school principals on school social work. A semi-structured interview was conducted with ten participants, who were principals of primary and secondary schools in the Herzegovina-Neretva and West Herzegovina Cantons of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A purposive sample was selected using the snowball sampling method, and the data were analysed using an inductive thematic analysis. The findings show that principals view the role of school social workers in three main areas: working with students, working with students’ families, and collaboration with school staff. In their previous experience, participants had collaborated with social workers from the Centres for Social Work, primarily in response to students’ social, material, and emotional problems. They identified characteristics of both effective and ineffective cooperation. (…)“.

[PRESENTATION OF ARTICLES]

In the journal Child and Family in Contemporary Society (Vol. 2, No. 1, 2025), an article by Sandra Samardžić, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, and Stefan Samardžić, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, was published under the title „The Phenomenon of School Violence and Criminal Law Mechanisms for the Protection of Employees in Educational Institutions in the Republic of Serbia“.

A part of the abstract of this article is highlighted: „The phenomenon of school violence is becoming an increasingly prominent issue in contemporary society, despite the existence of well-developed legal mechanisms for the protection of children’s rights. While safeguarding children’s rights remains a legitimate and fundamental goal of modern legal systems, there is a growing need to balance these rights with the protection of other participants in the educational process, particularly school employees. This paper examines various forms of violence within the school environment, analysing both peer violence and violence directed at teaching staff - a form of abuse that continues to receive insufficient attention in both academic and public discourse. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis of the legal framework in the Republic of Serbia, with a focus on criminal law mechanisms aimed at protecting school employees. (…)“.

[PRESENTATION OF ARTICLES]

In the journal Child and Family in Contemporary Society (Vol. 2, No. 1, 2025), an article by Lilla Garayova, Ph.D., Associate Professor, was published under the title „From Screens to Schoolyards - A Comparative Analysis of Digital and Physical School Violence in Light of International Children’s Rights Standards“.

A part of the abstract of this article is highlighted: „This study explores the intersection between digital and physical school violence from a comparative legal perspective, examining how various jurisdictions and international human rights frameworks address this issue. Drawing on legal analysis, case law, policy reviews, and empirical data, the paper investigates the ways in which online abuse – such as cyberbullying, digital harassment, and doxing – fuels in-person conflicts, reinforcing cycles of violence and intimidation among students. The study evaluates national legislative approaches in countries across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and Latin America, identifying best practices and gaps in enforcement. Key legal challenges, such as jurisdictional limitations in regulating online bullying, the balance between disciplinary measures and children’s rights, and the role of digital platforms in combating school violence, are critically assessed. The research further situates these legal responses within international human rights instruments, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, regional human rights conventions, and emerging jurisprudence from courts and treaty bodies. (…)“.
