مستخلص: | Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the concept of child vulnerability as perceived by Iraqw and Datoga peoples in northern Tanzania. Design: A mixed methods design was used, which included semistructured interviews (n = 32) and a questionnaire (n = 80) administered to members of the two ethnic groups. Findings: Five main themes emerged: (a) lack of resources, (b) intentional mistreatment, (c) deprivations (d) losses suffered, and (e) dealing with deprivation. Conclusions: The literature describes child vulnerability in terms of deprivation in an individual younger than 18 years. The following four issues were also identified as being of special local significance: (a) discrimination against handicapped, illegitimate, and foster children; (b) the child is viewed as a resource rather than an individual with rights, (c) unrelated fostering is unusual, and (d) few strategies are known to study participants. Implications: Community development and children's rights need attention, particularly for disabled and illegitimate children. The most vulnerable children can be identified using existing mechanisms, assistance may be channeled through the mother, and unrelated fostering and volunteer involvement can be encouraged. |
