Abstract
For long, the rate of child abuse in Uganda and particularly in Kyampisi Village- Mukono District has continuously been on the rise even with the presence of various structures and organizations like Kyampisi Child Care Ministries that strive to ensure child protection. Child abuse remains a pervasive issue globally, affecting millions of children each year and presenting significant challenges to their well-being and development. In Kyampisi Village, this issue is particularly prevalent, especially with the gruesome cases of child sacrifice that have propelled implementation of interventions by Kyampisi Child Care Ministries (KCM) aimed at mitigating these inhumane acts against children. Understanding the effectiveness of these interventions is crucial for shaping future policies and social work practices in child protection.
According to World Health Organization (2020) Child abuse refers to any act or series of acts of commission or omission by a parent, caregiver, or another person in a custodial role that results in harm, potential for harm, or threat of harm to a child. In Kyampisi Village, sexual abuse and physical abuse are very prevalent where cases such as rape, defilement, child sacrifice, child- neglect and corporal punishments are inescapable with gender as a risk factor and children with disabilities who many times fall prey as victims of these forms of abuse.
This research therefore seeks to assess the effectiveness of interventions carried out by Kyampisi Child Care Ministries against child abuse in Kyampisi Village. It aims to identify potential areas for improvement and optimization of existing strategies to better safeguard children from abuse within the community. The significance of this research lies not only in its potential to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on social work practice in the fight against child abuse but also in its practical implications for local stakeholders, policymakers, and organizations involved in child welfare. This study aims to inform evidence-based social work practices in protecting vulnerable children in Kyampisi Village.
In the next parts, I will discuss the methodology, objectives of the research, the theoretical framework and recommendations to social work practice. This study therefore aims to provide insights that will inform policies and practices aimed at creating safer environment for children in Kyampisi village.
. Through rigorous analysis and comprehensive evaluation, this study seeks to provide valuable insights that can inform policies and practices aimed at creating safer environments for children in Kyampisi Village.
