What are the forms of child abuse?

Emotional abuse
Emotional abuse refers to the psychological and social aspects of child abuse; it is the most common form of child abuse.

Neglect
It is generally understood that "neglect" refers to a range of circumstances in which a parent or caregiver fails to
adequately provide for a child's needs:

1.

through the provision of food, shelter and clothing

2.

by ensuring their access to medical care when necessary

3.

by providing them with care, love and support

4.

by exercising adequate supervision and control of the child

5.

by showing appropriate moral and legal guidance

6.

by ensuring that the child regularly attends school

Physical abuse
Physical assaults that would be serious criminal offenses if committed by one man against another - for instance, hitting,
slapping, or striking with an object - have been legally and socially sanctioned when committed by a man against his wife
and child, or by parents against their children.

Family violence
Family violence, or domestic violence, usually refers to the physical assault of children and women by male relatives,
usually a father and husband/partner. In these situations, a man uses violence to control his partner and children, often in
the belief that violence is a male perogative ("I'm a guy, I can't control myself"), or that his victims are responsible for his
behaviour ("You bought it on yourself"). Whilst women may also be perpetrators of family violence, they are usually
"fighting back" against a physically abusive partner, and it is unusual for violent women to inflict the same scale of harm
as violent men.

Sexual abuse
Sexual abuse describes any incident in an adult engages a minor in a sexual act, or exposes the minor to inappropriate
sexual behaviour or material. Sexual abuse also describes any incident in which a child is coerced into sexual activity by
another child. A person may sexually abuse a child using threats and physical force, but sexual abuse often involves
subtle forms of manipulation, in which the child is coerced into believing that the activity is an expression of love, or that
they child bought the abuse upon themself. Sexual abuse involves contact and non-contact offences.

Organized sexual abuse

 Organized sexual abuse refers to the range of circumstances in which multiple children are subject to sexual abuse by
multiple perpetrators. In these circumstances, children are subject to a range of serious harms that can include child
prostitution, the manufacture of child pornography, and bizarre and sadistic sexual practices, including ritualistic abuse
and torture.
