ASTANA. October 22. KAZINFORM - In Kazakhstan 90-95 percent of orphans in orphanages are in need of treatment by a psychotherapist. This has been reported by the head of a private charitable foundation called "Dara" Madina Bakiyeva at a meeting of the Committee on Social and Cultural Development of the Majilis of the Parliament of Kazakhstan under the chairmanship of Dariga Nazarbayeva.

"It is no secret that being in public care children are not only deprived of parental care, they are at high risk of violence and violation of their rights. This year the General Prosecutor's Office has voiced its report on the results of a comprehensive inspection of residential care, and children's homes.

And the conclusion has been the following: in Kazakhstan there is practically everywhere violation of the rights of orphans. This includes accomodation breach, and violation of property rights, and also, of course, unfortunately, tere are facts of violence and abuse. This is confirmed by the news report that we see every day, and by the recent study of the Ministry of the problems of violence in these institutions.

And I must say that this is just the tip of the iceberg, because the worst part of the facts of abuse, violence and human rights, especially as related to psychological violence, unfortunately remains uncovered. Because it is not noticeable. But, when our professional psychologists are conducting testing, they suggest that 90-95 percent of orphans living in orphanages are deeply traumatized, there is need for long-term treatment with a psychotherapist", said M.Bakiyeva.
