According to the data of the survey conducted by Child Well-being Fund Ukraine in July 2009, more than a third of people in Ukraine believes that physical punishment of children is not only permissible but it is necessary.

Child abuse and disregard of their interests may have different types and forms, but their consequences are always serious damage to health, development and socialization of the child, and often threat to her/his life or even cause of death.

From November 2008 to June 2009 Child Well-being Fund Ukraine was conducting an international information campaign,"See. Hear. Tell." (Parents, who hurt their children, are trying to hide it).

Aim of the campaign is community involvement in activities aimed at overcoming the problem of child abuse.
