Brief Description
The National Study on Reproductive Health conducted in Albania in 2002 recorded information on child abuse. 11.5 % of Albanian women aged 15-44 reported having experienced abuse by their parents and 27.2% of them reported having been abused during childhood. Prevalence of these two indicators was bigger among the inhabitants who live in rural zones as compared to those who live in urban zones. Prevalence of abuse was higher among women with four or more children, with a low educational level, with a low social-economic status and among those who were unemployed. Only 7 of the females that reported physical injuries caused by violence had consulted a doctor and 4 had been hospitalized.
