The purpose of this contribution is to describe the perception of adolescents about the situation of violence against children (boys and girls) in Bolivia. Through surveys and focus groups in 20 urban and rural municipalities, data of the situation of violence and the response of the family and institutional environment were obtained. The most important findings show that adolescents perceive the family environment as the most dangerous, that the school intervention against violence is not enough, and that complaints usually do not prosper. However, the parents are considered as the main intervention agents and when a case is opened due to violence, it is the Ombudsman who acts in a more outstanding way. Among the causes found, deficient or poor interpersonal communication predominates, with low self-esteem being the main consequence. Fathers and stepfathers are usually perceived as the most violent. Likewise, most young people think that we are all affected when there is violence, although women are more vulnerable than men.
