child also needs to be physically, psychologically and emotionally healthy. It
is the responsibility of its citizens to confer a beautiful childhood and a
secure future to our children. Since children are very vulnerable, they totally
depend on others for their livelihood. But the harsh reality is that sometimes
people are taking advantage of their innocence. Nowadays it has become a social
problem. Children are being exploited by different types of maltreatment. At
this moment in time it has become a matter of concern in Bangladesh too. In
Bangladesh the scenery of child abuse is distressing. Instead of having
statutory laws, the Children are not safe anywhere anymore. There are a great
number of child abusers today. Children are being abused in their home,
workplace, school, street by their known or unknown people. The necessity of
protecting children from abuse has been taken up in the community of
Bangladesh. It is very important to talk and inform about child abuse wherefore
it may have stopped faster. So, this research is aimed to figure out the
reasoning behind increasing this offense in Bangladesh. The present study

regarding child abuse. Moreover, this research focused on redressing the
emotional, physical and psychological effect on child due to child abuse and
