2. Child Abuse Child abuse is defined as a variety of harmful behaviors directed against children. It can take many forms. Child abuse in general is a psychological problem or perversion of the abuser. The abuser is referred to as the perpetrator of abuse.

3. Condition Child sexual abuse Physical abuse Child neglect Emotional neglect and abuse

4. Child sexual abuse  Child sexual abuseI ncludes any activity that uses a child to create sexual gratification either in you or in others. Although the touching of children as a sign of affection and for hygiene is considered normal and necessary, there is a way to distinguish normal touching from child sexual abuse. Child sexual abuse includes prolonged kissing, cuddling, French kissing, and excessive touching. Looking at children either with or without clothes with the intent to be sexually aroused is also included. Photographing, videotaping, or filming of children with the intent to create sexual stimulation is a form of child abuse as well.

5. Physical abuse  Physical abuse of children is defined as excessive intentional physical injury to a child or excessive corporal punishment of a child. Torture, beatings, and assault of children are obvious forms of physical abuse. Corporal punishment by parents is subject to evaluation and interpretation. In general, corporal punishment should be avoided, though spanking with a hand and other forms of mild physical punishment that do not leave any marks are still considered within the realm of parental discretion. Excessive physical discipline is harmful and dangerous to children. Small children can be killed by relatively minor acts of physical violence (for example, shaking, dropping, or throwing the child against hard surfaces). Any severe beating with an object, forceful shaking, submersion in hot water, intentional burning, and other forms of intentional infliction of pain are inappropriate and criminal behaviors.

6. Child neglect  Child neglect  in any form, when it concerns a child's welfare, is generally considered to be criminal behavior. Child neglect is considered as a possible diagnosis for children who are poorly cared for, not fed properly, improperly clothed, denied basic safety or necessities, denied proper medical care, or treated with indifference to a degree that appears to cause or put the child at risk for damage or suffering.

7. Emotional neglect  Emotional neglect is a condition in which children do not get adequate attention from their parents or guardians. Emotional abuse refers to children being harmed by emotionally negative behaviors by a caretaker.

8. Global Perspective on Child Abuse Child abuse and neglect affects millions worldwide, and the issues surrounding this social problem are remarkably similar regardless of economic resources or political structure. However, although this tragic social issue exists in most countries, the kinds of abuse and neglect and the ways they are defined, prevented, and treated vary significantly from country to country.

9. Continue….. Many countries appear to be in a state of flux regarding this issue, striving to create definitions of abuse and neglect within their cultural contexts, while seeking adequate distinctions between acceptable discipline and child rearing practices and inappropriate practices that should be defined as maltreatment.

10. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), one of the many United Nations Agreements on Human Rights, seeks to provide a common definitional understanding of child abuse and neglect and an organized and consistent framework for protecting children around the world regardless of sex, religion, social origin, or country of residence. The CRC was developed over a ten-year period and was opened for signature and ratification in 1989 (United Nations Children’s Fund [UNICEF] 1989). It bans discrimination against children and provides for special protection and rights appropriate to minors.

11. ISPCAN Surveys The International Society for the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect (ISPCAN) has conducted numerous worldwide surveys to obtain a global perspective of the characteristics of and responses to child abuse. ISPCAN’s goal in conducting this research is to provide information from a global perspective, from which programmatic changes can be identified and implemented based on successes and problems in this area around the world.

12. Continue…. Its latest survey was released in 2004 (ISPCAN 2004). For most of its research, the Society’s response rate has been approximately 50–70 percent. In the 2004 survey, of the ninety-four countries invited, sixty-four countries provided information. The respondent countries represent a diverse group, including countries from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and Oceania. Because of this great diversity, the ISPCAN survey provides a truly global perspective of the problem of child abuse and neglect. Accordingly, the summary below is based primarily on the Society’s comprehensive survey research, as well as two other resources that provide information on the global view of child abuse.

13. Child Abuse in Pakistan Child abuse is rampant in Pakistan. Children belonging to poor families are often forced to work for money and are discouraged from seeking any sort of education whatsoever. Parents often use physical punishments as deterrents for their kids which research shows leaves a long-term effect on children. A Pakistani aid group dedicated to child protection said its data shows assaults and sexual abuse of children have surged by nearly a third in the country last year. . The Sahil organization said the number of cases increased 30% in 2021, compared to the year before. In its annual report entitled “Cruel Numbers,” the group says there were 3,852 cases of child sexual abuse in 2021 in Pakistan, including child marriages — or over 10 assaults per day.

14. Significance of the issue Child abuse is an ongoing issue that has always been present and continues to grow even now. Research shows the adverse effects of child abuse can last a lifetime and often times proves fatal. Children who face child abuse grow up socially awkward, are unable to contribute to the society and often repeat the violent acts that they themselves have experienced. If child abuse is common in the country, there is surely no other future but of despair and destruction in that country.
