Hi Jiya
There are various types of abuse and I think you could use that as a start in your discussion. For instance, you could start with neglect, physical abuse, psychological abuse or sexual abuse and discuss how these forms of abuse can affect many people not just of one culture, age etc.
I would say something along the lines of Neglect is a form of abuse and can be perpetrated in many different ways, such as neglect relating to food or neglect relating to supervision. This can apply across all different cultures and ages, gender etc... This could be seen just as easily with a parent neglecting to feed their child with a disability or you noticing an older child stealing food that is not his due to being so hungry. We may hear more about neglect from families from lower socioeconomic backgrounds however this does not mean children with wealthier parents are not neglected.

I thing you could probably find lots of information on all of these.

Hope this gave you a start. Good luck
