2. INTRODUCTION
• Children who live with a physical, sensory,
intellectual or mental health disability are
among the most stigmatized and
marginalized of all the world’s children.
While all children are at risk of being
victims of violence, disabled children find
themselves at significantly increased risk
because of stigma, negative traditional
beliefs and ignorance. Disabled children
are also often targeted by abusers, who see
them as easy victims.

3. DEFINITION
• “Persons with disabilities include
those who have long-term physical,
mental, intellectual or sensory
impairments which in interaction
with various barriers may hinder
their full and effective participation
in society on an equal basis with
others.”

4. STATISTICAL DATA
• It is considered that around 150
million children in the world live
with a disability; 80% of them live
in developing countries. Most
often, these children do not receive
necessary treatment and most of
them are discriminated.

6. I. VIOLENCE IN THE HOME AND
FAMILY:
• A, Infanticide & mercy killings:
• the belief that the child is evil or will
bring misfortunate to the family or
the community or
• the belief that the child is suffering
or will suffer and is better off dead.

7. B. PHYSICAL, SEXUAL
VIOLENCE
a mobility impaired
child may be less
able to flee when
physically or
sexually assaulted.
A child who is deaf
may be unable to
communicate about
the abuse.

8. C. ABUSE BY SUPPORT STAFF
WITHIN THE HOME
 Physical, sexual, verbal and
emotional abuse may take place by
caregivers without the parent’s
knowledge or while the parent is
away.
 Parents may be aware of or suspect
abuse, but feel there are no
alternatives to help with the care of
the disabled child and thus be
unwilling to admit, confront or cancel
the services they receive.

9. II.VIOLENCE IN EDUCATIONAL AND
CUSTODIAL SETTINGS
A. Traveling to and from school:
Because educational facilities for
disabled children are rare, many
children travel long distances to
school. Reports of physical and
sexual abuse by those responsible
for transportation to and from
school are common.

10. B.PHYSICAL THREAT
OF VIOLENCE:-
Disabled children are often
bullied, teased or
subjected to physical
violence (being beaten,
stoned, spit upon, etc.) by
members of the
community on their way to
and from school.

11. C.VICTIMS OF CRIME:
Disabled children are often targeted and more
vulnerable and less likely or able to report crime or
abuse. Students with sensory impairments (deafness
or blindness) and students with intellectual disabilities
seem to be at particular risk.

12. D.TEACHERS:
Disabled children
are often beaten,
abused or bullied by
teachers,
particularly
untrained teachers
who do not
understand the
limitations of some
disabled children

13. E.FELLOW
STUDENTS:
Sexual abuse by
fellow students is
also a concern and
is often linked to
physical violence
and bullying
behaviors by such
classmates.

14. F.
ELECTROSHOCK
THERAPY:
while the short and
long-term adverse
effects of
electroconvulsive
shock therapy
treatment has
caused the
treatment to be
banned in many
countries.

15. G.MEDICATED
TO ASSURE
COMPLIANCE:
when they are
heavily medicated so
that they will be
unable to defend
themselves from
physical violence or
sexual assault.

16. VIOLENCE IN
THE
“WORKPLACE”
A.DISABLED
CHILDREN
USED AS
BEGGARS:-
Disabled children
are regularly used to
generate income
through begging.

17. B.HYSTRECTOMY
&SOLD INTO
PROSTITUTION:-
While poverty and
lack of alternatives
lead many families to
give or sell their
children into
prostitution, some
disabled girls children
are specifically sought
out after hystrectomy.

18. C.WORK AS A
PRECURSOR TO
DISABILITY:–
Children are forced to
work in mines or
factories, farms and boats,
can also lead nondisabled
children to become
disabled. And once
disabled, the child will be
at increased risk for all the
various forms of violence
against disabled children

19. D.LINK BETWEEN
SEXUAL ABUSE AND
MENTAL ILLNESS:
A child who is sexually
abused has significantly
increased probability of
subsequent mental health
problems throughout the
lifespan. Children and
adolescents with mental
health concerns are
regularly targeted for
additional physical and
sexual abuse.

22. DEFINITION
Fostering is an arrangement
whereby a child lives,
usually on a temporary
basis, with an extended or
unrelated family member.

36. REMEMBER THE POINTS TO
IMPROVE:-
No violence against children is justifiable.

37. Cont....
Children should never receive less
protection than adults;

38. Cont..... All violence
against children
is preventable.
States must
invest in
evidence-based
policies and
programmes to
address factors
that give rise to
violence against
children;

39. Cont.
• States have the
primary
responsibility to
uphold children’s
rights to protection
and access to
services, and to
support families’
capacity to provide
children with care in
a safe environment;

40. Cont...• States have the obligation to ensure
accountability in every case of
violence;
• The vulnerability of children to
violence is linked to their age and
evolving capacity. Some children,
because of gender, race, ethnic origin,
disability or social status are
particularly vulnerable;
• Children have the right to express their
views and have them given due weight
in the planning and implementation of
policies and programmes

41. “No matter whether violence against children
occurs in the family, school, community,
institution or workplace, health workers are the
front line for responding to it. We must make
our contribution to ensuring that such violence is
prevented from occurring in the first place, and
that where it does occur children receive the best
possible services to reduce its harmful effects.”
