Highlights

The report is the first-ever comprehensive analysis of existing studies undertaken by experts and academics about child maltreatment in the region. It examines studies produced between January 2000 and November 2010. Estimates vary but the report found that even the best case scenario suggests 1 in 10 children experience physical abuse.
