BACKGROUND: Physical, emotional and sexual abuse of children is a major problem
in South Africa, with severe negative outcomes for survivors. To date, no known
studies have used data directly obtained from community-based samples of children
to investigate prevalence, incidence, locations and perpetrators of child abuse
victimisation. This study aims to investigate prevalence and incidence,
perpetrators, and locations of child abuse victimisation in South Africa using a
multicommunity sample. METHODS: 3515 children aged 10-17?years (56.6% female)
were interviewed from all households in randomly selected census enumeration
areas in two South African provinces. Child self-report questionnaires were
completed at baseline and at 1-year follow-up (96.7% retention). RESULTS:
Prevalence was 56.3% for lifetime physical abuse (18.2% past-year incidence),
35.5% for lifetime emotional abuse (12.1% incidence) and 9% for lifetime sexual
abuse (5.3% incidence). 68.9% of children reported any type of lifetime
victimisation and 27.1% reported lifetime multiple abuse victimisation. Main
perpetrators of abuse were reported: for physical abuse, primary caregivers and
teachers; for emotional abuse, primary caregivers and relatives; and for sexual
abuse, girlfriend/boyfriends or other peers. CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study
assessing current self-reported child abuse through a large, community-based
sample in South Africa. Findings of high rates of physical, emotional and sexual
abuse demonstrate the need for targeted and effective interventions to prevent
incidence and re-victimisation.
