CHILD ABUSE IN IGBOLAND OF NIGERIA: EXPLANATIONS, PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS AND ENDING THE SILENCE

Summary/Abstract: Child abuse is as old as man. It happens in different parts of the world. Some countries, cultures and governments are advanced in handling the problem, while others are just waking up to the reality. However, that does not mean that children are not harmed in those societies where the government is still silent. Even though the statistics data from United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and World Health Organization (WHO) vary from city and city, from country to country, and from year to year, what is not in dispute is that child abuse is an international problem. Children are abused regardless of the culture, society, or socio-demographics of the individual child (Bekerian & Levy, 2012, 68).
