THE ROLES OF
HUMAN RIGHTS AND PUBLIC COMPLAINT COMMISSION: A STUDY OF CHILD ABUSE
ABSTRACT
The study
examined the role of Human Rights institutions in the country in addressing the
problem ofchild abuse.The objective of this study is causes, types and effects
of child abuse on the child, the family and thenation. The work is meant to
draw closer attention on this increasing scourge and access measures
ofaddressing to preserve the fundamental human rights of the child as
entrenched under the NigeriaChild Right Act.In the study, the researcher
defined what child abuse is; the various forms of child abuse, and
alsoidentified some of the causes and consequences of child abuse as a
reflection of the societal problemand its impact on the life of the child. The
study also evaluated the extent of damages it does to theabused child and the
Nigerian society. In order to gather relevant data and information on the
subjectmatter, the researcher used the questionnaire as data collection
instrument, which was administeredon 200 respondents within the FCT which is
the limit of the scope of the study. A self constructedquestionnaire titled
Child Abuse Questionnaire (CAQ) was administered on the students
aftervalidation. The instrument has construct validity co-efficient of 0.756
and reliability co-efficient of0.95. The statistical technique that was used to
analyse the data collected was Chi-Square distributiontest. The result of the
analysis showed that there was a significant relationship between poverty
andeconomic deprivation and child abuse in Nigeria. Also the study revealed
that child abuse is still very prevalent in Nigeria and also that religious and
cultural influences contribute to child abuse in Nigeria.The result revealed
that the Rights institutions are not doing enough to arrest the problem of childabuse
and that the child right act is not working in Nigeria.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The Collins
concise dictionary defines juvenile as pertaining to the young or immature of
youth orchildhood. This comprises the child and the adolescent. According to
World Health Organization(WHO), a child falls within the age group of 0
–
19 years. Some countries further include any
oneless than or up to 21 years. The Nigerian labour act defines a child as
those who are 16 years of ageand below but the International Labour
Organization (ILO) has brought it down to individuals below15years of age.
Child abuse can be defined as ‘an intentional or neglectful physical or
emotional injury imposed on achild, including sexual molestation.’ (Garner
1999:10) Child abuse violates the United NationDeclaration of Human Rights, the
United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted in1989 and the
African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the African Child. Child abuse can
be seen as situation whereby the fundamental human right of a child is
temperedwith. That is, the child is not given adequate care and protection as
it’s the responsibility of every parent to take good care of their children.
This rights are right to education, religion, freedom,movement, shelter etc.
The child on most occasion is exposed to unnecessary hardship and odds
inlife.Although child abuse occurs in Nigeria, it has received little
attention. This is probably due to theemphasis placed on the more prevalent
childhood problems of malnutrition and infection. Another possible reason is
the general assumption that in every African society the extended family
systemalways provides love, care and protection to all children. Yet there are
traditional child rearing practices which adversely affect some children, such
as purposeful neglect or abandonment ofseverely handicapped children, and twins
or triplets in some rural areas. With the alteration of society by rapid
socioeconomic and political changes, various forms of child abuse have been
identified, particularly in the urban areas. These may be considered the
outcome of abnormal interactions of thechild, parents/ guardians and society.
They include abandonment of normal infants by unmarried orvery poor mothers in
cities, increased child labour and exploitation of children from rural areas
inurban elite families, and abuse of children in urban nuclear families by
child-minders . Preventivemeasures include provision of infrastructural
facilities and employment opportunities in the ruralareas in order to prevent
drift of the young population to the cities. This would sustain the
supportiverole of the extended family system which is rapidly being eroded.
