Issues affecting children and young people in Eswatini

  • The country’s poverty is exacerbated by a three- decade long HIV and AIDS epidemic which has had a profound effect on the country’s social and economic fabric. According to UNAIDS (2018), 210 000 people are infected with HIV, making it the highest recorded HIV prevalence in the world.
  • There has been an increase in the number of orphans and vulnerable children, and with the growing strain on communities, children are increasingly exposed to neglect, abuse and exploitation.
  • Despite this, Eswatini still does not have a comprehensive child protection system to address children’s needs holistically..
