| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of the study was to assess the effect of COVID-19 on child abuse: The case of Addis Ababa City. A qualitative research method was used and an institutional case study approach was applied. The target institutions were selected on the basis purposive sampling techniques because one stop centre for abused children is only found in three government hospitals in Addis Ababa (Menelik II Referral Hospital, Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Tirunesh-Beijing General Hospital).The abused children were also selected using non-probability purposive sampling techniques by considering the government owned institutions. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic in Addis Ababa City, the children are being confined to their homes and a large number of children were reportedly raped and experienced different forms of abuse during the corona virus epidemic. The most prevalent type of child abuse was found to be sexual abuse, especially rape. However, there are also physical abuse, psychological abuse and neglect associated with sexual abuse. Therefore, what needs to be done is to protect children from different type of abuse, responsible stakeholders should educate the community, and government must punish perpetrators severely during COVID-19.
