The prevalence of violence —in particular against children and adolescents— is one of the great pending challenges in Peru. This paper uses data from the Young Lives longitudinal study with two objectives: first, to document the prevalence of experiences of physical and psychological violence suffered by children and adolescents; and second, to analyze the life cycle factors associated with the occurrence of these events. The study is based on data collected between 2002 and 2016. The available data allows to document experiences of interpersonal violence, in the family and couple environment, as well as in the community setting, for two groups: the minor cohort, which was followed up from the first year until 15; and the major cohort, followed from 8 to 22 years.
