Principal Arguments/Results: With focused interventions, children can be invaluable allies in the fight against GBV. Good interventions can raise children's awareness, competence, and self-assurance in dealing with GBV. More research is required to determine how treatments affect kids' attitudes and actions over the long run. For change to be sustained, it is essential to address the underlying causes and contextual elements of GBV. Methodology/approach: The literature on children's involvement in GBV prevention is reviewed and analyzed in this review. It makes use of reports, academic articles, and other pertinent sources. Significance/Implications: This review highlights how critical it is to give kids the tools they need to prevent GBV. It provides knowledge to help academics, practitioners, and politicians create solutions that work and pave the way for a world without violence.
