The Some Social Issues are yet shameless for our Nation Child Abuse , Illetracy and Much More.
1-Child Abuse:
Every year more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the United States. It’s a terrible epidemic that we at Childhelp are dedicated to put an end to. To do this, we need to first increase awareness of the issue itself.Basically, firstly we had to know about that…….What is child abuse? Child abuse is when a parent or caregiver, whether through action or failing to act, causes injury, death, emotional harm or risk of serious harm to a child. There are many forms of child maltreatment, including neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, exploitation and emotional abuse.
Physical Abuse:-

Sexual Abuse:-
Sexual abuse occurs when an adult uses a child for sexual purposes or involves a child in sexual acts. It also includes when a child who is older or more powerful uses another child for sexual gratification or excitement.Sexual abuse is increasing in Pakistan day by day At least 11 children became victims of sexual abuse everyday while almost 100 were murdered after sexual assault in 2016, a 10 per cent increase in such disaster.The Shameful incident recently we had faced is of Zainab’s murder case.A girl of just 7 years old is firstly sexually assaulted and then Murdered….Here I say Again “I See Humans But No Humanity”
• 20.6% of Adults report being sexually assaulted and abused as child
Emotional Abuse:-
When a parent or caregiver harms a child’s mental and social development, or causes severe emotional harm, it is considered emotional abuse. While a single incident may be abuse, most often emotional abuse is a pattern of behavior that causes damage over time.
• 10.6% of Adults report being emotionally abused as a child.
Child Neglect:-
Child neglect is when a parent or caregiver does not give the care, supervision, affection and support needed for a child’s health, safety and well-being. Child neglect includes:
• Physical neglect and inadequate supervision
• Emotional neglect
• Medical neglect
• Educational neglect
2-Illetracy:
The state of not knowing how to read and write is termed as literacy.
Illiteracy in individuals stems from different, generally inter-related causes which, together, create a series of often insurmountable barriers for those concerned.
For instance, for someone born into an underprivileged milieu to parents with little formal schooling, the likelihood of being illiterate or experiencing serious learning difficulties will be higher. This is known as intergenerational transmission of illiteracy.
The following are the most frequent causes of illiteracy in adults:
• Parents with little schooling
• Lack of books at home and lack of stimulation as to the importance of reading
• Doing badly at or dropping out of school many have not completed high school
• Difficult living conditions, including poverty
• Learning disabilities, such as dyslexia
Adults aged 45 and over with low literacy skills have the distinction of belonging to generations for whom there were attractive job opportunities despite a lower level of schooling. A very large number of them have always worked in the same field, founding their families, and thus have never felt the need to go back to school.
Owing to the closing of many companies over the past few years, especially in the manufacturing and primary sectors, these people have found themselves out of work, and are often unable to find a new job, because they have difficulty reading and writing. Also, they lack the necessary skills to meet current market requirements or to register in training that would allow them to requalify.
Illetracy in Pakistan:
Education in Pakistan is overseen by the government’s education ministry and the provincial governments, whereas the federal government mostly assists in curriculum development, accreditation and in the financing of research. Article 25-A of the Constitution of Pakistan obligates the state to provide free and compulsory education to children between the ages of five and 16. Pakistanis in the 55-64 years age group have a literacy rate of almost 30 per cent, those in the 45-54 years age groups have a literacy rate of nearly 40 per cent, the 25-34 year age group has a literacy rate of 50 per cent and those aged between 15 and 24 years have a literacy rate of 60 per cent.
Moreover, English is fast spreading in Pakistan, with 18 million Pakistanis having a command over the language. On top of that, Pakistan produces about 445,000 university graduates and 10,000 computer science graduates every year. Despite these statistics, Pakistan still has one of the highest illiteracy rates in the world and the second largest out-of-school population of children after Nigeria. Clearly, we have a long way to go in terms of educating our population and fulfilling the constitutional guarantee set down by Article 25-A in terms of providing every child of school-going age an education.
At The End I’ll again say:
