child victims
Harmed minor sufferers
Child victims are children who have suffered harm, abuse, exploitation, or trauma—whether through violence, neglect, accidents, or crime.
The phrase appears frequently in legal, medical, and social services contexts: programs for child victims of domestic violence, advocates who work with child victims of trafficking.
The term emphasizes both vulnerability and the harm inflicted by others or circumstances.
