  3. Poverty Situation (indicate the source) 40% of the population - living under the poverty line, many families rely on their children’s contribution to the family income. This perpetuates the situation of child labor, exploitation, and child trafficking.

  4. Children Without Birth Registration Many children are born without being registered. Unable to register at birth deprives a child to basic access to social services, health programs and other support services.

  5. Children Victims of Sexual Abuse Sexual abuse is more common against adolescent girls. Boys are also victims. In 2007 - 7,228 cases of child abuse were reported, 32% (2,217) - sexual abuse crimes committed against girls - majority of the victims (i.e. 1,081 children) were adolescent girls between the ages of 14 – 17 years old. Over the past ten years (1999 – 2007), DSWD served 93,510 children victims of abuse.

  6. Children Victims of Physical Abuse In the Sub-regional Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey (SR-MICS) by UNICEF 60% of women (3.6 million) report that they use at least one form of psychological or physical punishment to punish or discipline their children. 13% reported that they used some severe physical punishment on their children, which includehitting or slapping the child on the hand, arm or leg or beating the child up with an implement(hit over and over as hard as one could).

  7. Children Victims of Physical Abuse Children are often afraid of reporting incidents of violence against them Parents who should protect their children may remain silent if violence is perpetrated by a spouse or other close relative.

  8. Violence in Schools A recent study (2008) by UNICEF titled, “A Baseline Research on Violence against Children in Public Schools” confirms that violence in schools is a reality for many children. At least 4 out of 10 in Grades 1-3 children & 7 out of 10 in Grades 4-6 and high school have experienced some kind of violence in school. Verbal abuse is the most prevalent form of violence experienced by children in all school levels. This includes being shouted at or being cursed, ridiculed, teased, or humiliated. Children are bullied and labeled by their peers, punished and embarrassed by their teachers. VAC in schools is one of the causes for school drop-out.

  9. Working Children The 2001 survey estimated - 4 million children between the ages of 5-17 years old who work at least 4 hours a day but are not necessarily paid. Many families rely on their children’s contribution to the family income at the cost of dropping out of school.

  10. Trafficking in Persons The Philippines is recognized as a source, transit and destination country for cross-border trafficking of women and children for the purpose of sexual exploitation and forced labour. Government and NGOs estimate the number of prostituted children to be between 60,000 to 100,000.

  11. Child Pornography Based on a study by the PNP, websites and chat rooms are popular venues for luring and grooming children into pornography. Pedophiles and syndicates trade and deal in the business of child pornography. Increasing incidents of risky sexual behavior among adolescents and youth also increase their vulnerability to become victims of child pornography. Child Pornography Any representation, by whatever means, of a child engaged in real or simulated explicit sexual activities or any representation of the sexual parts of the child Article 2 (c), Optional Protocol

  12. Street Children A study by UNICEF in 2000 estimated the number of street children at 246,000 found in major Philippine cities. About 50,000 are considered “highly-visible street children”and the figure is rising. ST spend most of their time on the streets, they have little or no family contacts ST are highly vulnerable to a number of risks such as substance abuse, hazardous work, sexual abuse and commercial sexual exploitation, sexually-transmitted diseases (STD) and HIV/AIDS, and involvement in organized crime.

  13. Children in Conflict with the Law (CICL) 70% of the crimes committed by CICLs are theft, robbery, sniffing of glue and solvents, & vagrancy. Despite the passage of the Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act (RA 9344), there are still hundreds of CICLs who are detained in jails all over the country. CICLs are mostly male (95%), aged 14-17. 80% are first-time offenders.

  14. Physically Challenge Children Less attention are being undertaken to respond to the concerns of children who are physically challenge. Data of this group of children is not readily available. Efforts to identify evidence-based situation of these children is a big challenge to duty-bearers.

  15. IP Children (Indigenous People) Less attention are also being undertaken to respond to the concerns of IP children. Data of this group of children is not readily available. Efforts to identify evidence-based situation of these children is a big challenge to duty-bearers.
