| dc.description.abstract | The study attempted to investigate the prevalence of violence against children in second cycle elementary school students in Gulele sub city, Addis Ababa. The participants of the study were students, teachers and school directors of the target schools. A total of 3 69 students (170 males and 199 females), and 108 teachers and directors (59 males and 49 females) were included in the study. Among these, 314 students and 108 teachers and directors have responded. Questionnaires were used to gather information about the prevalence of violence, methods used to violate the rights of students, information on the perpetrators and the methods of preventing it. For analysis purpose, the descriptive statistics (percentage and mean value) were employed. Based on the findings of the study, the prevalence rate of violence in students view was as follows: physical 36.1 %, discrimination 17.5%, emotional 25.2%, neglect 37.9% and Sexual 8.7 %. It has also indicated that alternative non-physical approaches like advising students, explaining the reason why some thing was wrong, providing them verbal reward and advising them acceptable behaviors were the four most highly implemented so as to keep school discipline to the extent of 61.2%' For the implementation of these alternatives non- physical measures in keeping school discipline, credit was given to teachers. The proposed methods of lessening the problem by the respondents were advocacy and awareness creation, involving children in all issues that concern them, reporting violence cases, application of non-physical measures, and revealing perpetrators to law enforcing bodies. | en_US |
