Abstract
Violence against children is a global human rights and public health issue, with significant negative health and social impacts throughout the lifespan. The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that all children have the right to be protected against all forms of violence, physical, psychological and sexual abuse. Experiencing violence by parents, caregivers, and others has been associated with a number of emotional and behavioral problems in adolescence and adulthood, including aggression, , poor academic performance, anxiety, reduced self-esteem (WHO, 2011). Child violence can be defined as the physical, sexual or psychological maltreatment of a child or children descriptive design was utilized to determine the occurrence of violence and its consequence on children’s health among the orphanage home Exposure to violence has also been associated with a variety of behavioral health risks such as smoking and obesity and specific health problems such as injury, diabetes, and ischemic heart disease. In addition, exposure can have negative consequences for cognitive development, including language deficits and reduced cognitive functioning (UNICEF, 2005). Patriarchal values and power structures that result in different socialization processes of the children lead them to adopting different coping mechanisms and manifesting the impact of abuse and trauma in different ways on them. They are likely to experience low self-esteem and poor psychosocial care and support. So, the children are growing up.
