Domestic violence against children on the rise
Mental health specialists say there has been an increase in domestic violence against children largely a result of the violence that has gripped Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003. They say the violence has affected people's behavior.
"We have observed that there has been an increase in the number of cases of aggression against children in Iraq and the main perpetrators of this aggression are the children's own parents. Their aggressive behavior is seriously affecting the daily life of thousands of innocent children," said Ala'a al-Sahaddi, vice-president of the Iraq Psychologists Association (IPA).
Alarmingly 91% of the children interviewed said they faced more aggression at home than before the US-led invasion in 2003.
