Most of the studies involve direct interviews with children and young adults and are designed to result nationally representative and quantitative estimates on physical, sexual and psychological violence. The compilation, we believe, will lessen the burden of reviewing the bulk of reports and enables the International NGO Advisory Council to glean the main results relatively easily. For details on each of the studies, the researchers can still go into each of the respective reports which have also been made available through the link (http://www.box.net/shared/dxczumnolf) to serve as reference materials. The compilation contains all the studies carried out after 2006 as a follow up to the UN Secretary General‟s Study on violence against children. It highlights the scale and extent of all forms of violence against children in a number of countries in Africa almost in all settings: home and family, schools, care and justice systems, places of work and the community. For easier navigation, the document has been organized into three sections. The first part contains information on the prevalence of violence against children and particularly in relation to different forms of physical, psychological and sexual violence experienced by children. The second part focuses on harmful traditional practices affecting children in the African continent. The third and final part covers violence experienced by the most vulnerable groups of children. In this part, we have included the findings of our surveys on violence against children with disabilities, which is a new attempt in the African context.
