520			_a"As we have observed in past surveys, there is global agreement emerging on the major behaviors that constitute child abuse and neglect (e.g., sexual abuse, physical abuse, children living on the street, child prostitution). Although some differences continue to exist between the definitions embraced in developing versus developed countries and local social conditions frame the relative emphasis professionals may place on various behaviors, those working in diverse contexts are working with cases involving many of the same characteristics. Children who have experienced physical mistreatment, sexual abuse and parental or societal neglect can be found in many countries around the world, regardless of a country's economic conditions. Much of the world's response to child abuse and neglect, however, is inextricably linked to funding. Although the proportion of developing countries establishing formal child abuse policies and response systems is growing, wide discrepancies remain in terms of service availability. Although much has been, and is being, learned about how to establish effective surveillance and response systems, it is clear that a significant number of children remain at high risk for experiencing violence and other negative outcomes. Children living in countries facing extreme economic hardship and social disruption are at particular risk. Our data also suggests that well-defined and broadly available parenting assistance and other supportive services can provide children, even those living in difficult circumstances, a greater level of protection. It is our hope that ISPCAN, through its members and National Partners, will be able to improve service availability and quality through its ongoing education and training programs and dissemination of best practices."--EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
