According to a report by Fuji Television on the 7th, cited by Overseas Network, the number of child abuse consultations received by child protection professional institutions across Japan in 2022 was 219170, an increase of 11500 from 2021, setting a new historical high.
The number of child abuse consultations in Japan reached a historic high in 2022. According to data from the Japan Department of Children and Families, the number of child abuse consultations has broken records for 32 consecutive years. The data for 2022 shows that the highest number of cases of psychological abuse occurred, accounting for about 60% of the total, with 129000 cases, mostly due to psychological pressure experienced by children after witnessing domestic violence. Next are physical abuse, abandonment, sexual abuse, etc. The Japan Department of Children and Families believes that the increase in data is due to increased awareness of child abuse prevention among people and an increase in reports from relevant agencies such as the police.
In addition, a total of 77 children in Japan died from abuse in 2022. The head of Japan's Children and Families Agency stated that the data released this time cannot determine whether there is a corresponding increase in child abuse incidents in Japan, only stating that there is a "potential trend of increase" and that efforts will be made to strengthen the response.
