The purpose of this short assessment is to determine the scale of the needs and protection risks for children affected by maltreatment. Furthermore, it is to determine the potential and actual capacities to respond to these within Metema and Lay Armachiho, woredas of the North Gondar Zone Amhara region in Ethiopia.
Although the analysis of the information collected from 95 interviews shows some prevention measures, it reveals the presence of child violence, abuse, neglect, and exploitation. In addition, it was identified that the situation is aggravated due to the presence of child trafficking in one woreda and child disability problems in the other woreda. Additionally, the presence of orphans, vulnerable children and harmful traditional practices are identified in both areas. Finally, the study recommends an update of old and installation of new measures to be taken against the mentioned abuse.
