Abstract

Back ground: Children with disabilities were more likely exposed to violence than non-disabled children to be seen as having characteristics that contributed to violence. Aim of the study: To assess forms and determinants of violence against disabled children Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on (800) disabled children and their care givers in Assiut Governorate. Systematic random sample techniques was used to include all subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria. A structured interview questionnaire was used which included questions regarding the personal characteristics of children and violence. Results: The present study showed that the majority of the subjects (79.5%, 66.4%) respectively were exposed to psychological and physical violence. Slightly more than one quarter (27.6%) were exposed to sexual violence. Conclusion: it was found that approximately one third of them had bruises in their bodies from physical violence. Recommendations: An educational program should be designed for families and teachers about the effect of violence on disabled children, its prevention and nonviolent discipline techniques through mass media.
