Abstract: China has 55 ethnic minorities with 114 million population. As a piece of the worldwide picture of child abuse in ethnicity, the study on child abuse in Chinese ethnic regions is significant but insufficient currently. Therefore, this study examined the prevalence, negative effects, and risk factors of child abuse involving girls in Chinese ethnic regions.
