Socio-Cultural Constraints in Protecting Child Rights in a Society in Transition: A Review and Synthesis from Oman

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In line with international best practice, the Arabian Gulf countries have ratified the Convention on the Right of the Child (CRC), which has some clauses on child abuse and neglect. The present discourse, made from within an Arabian Gulf society, specifically Oman, reviews the socio-cultural differences of the region and explores the potential regional challenges for effectively implementing the CRC mandated child protection legislation. The international best practices evolved for individualistic, "guilt-based" societies, which may need to be modified to suit the "shame-based" collective societies in the Arabian Gulf where the individual autonomy is overridden by that of the family and society. This may mean that the entire spectrum of child abuse may need to be studied in-depth, starting from what constitutes child abuse and neglect, the methods adopted for identifying cases, setting preventive measures in place, applying penal and corrective action on the perpetrators, and helping the victims recover. It is posited that while modifying the laws may be straightforward, implementation of certain clauses may initially come into conflict with deeply engrained sociocultural conventions on these societies which have different parenting styles and childrearing practices. The country in focus is Oman. Pointing out the sparsity of research on the topic in the region, the study suggests additional research to understand how to reconcile these sociocultural constraints with the international best practices of protecting child rights.

“…Prior research has reported that approximately 20% of the youth had tried illicit drugs by the time they were in eighth grade, and the percentage steadily increased to 50% by the time they reached 12th grade [ 6 ]. Alcohol use has been reported to be widespread during this stage of youth, with approximately 70% reporting that they tried alcohol during this stage, 25% reporting being drunk, and 32.8% reporting they had at least one drink of alcohol within the past 30 days [ 4 , 5 , 7 , 8 ]. It is critical to understand alcohol and substance use, as it has contributed to poor sexual health outcomes among urban youth [ 8 ].…”

Black youth and their families living in urban settings may experience unique stressors that contribute to underlying issues due to the environmental context. Such factors may exacerbate and promote drug use and engagement in risky sexual behaviors, unknowingly. Little is known about how family factors, peer pressure, condom use, and other related factors are associated with substance use and engaging in sexual behaviors while on drugs among urban African American youth aged 12–22 (N = 638). We used regression models to examine associations between parental bonding, parent–adolescent sexual health communication, condom use, peer pressure on substance use, and having sex while on drugs. Multivariate results indicated that parental bonding was statistically significant and associated with drug use (OR: 1.36, 95%CI: 1.36). Our study highlights that parental bonding plays a critical role in youth using drugs while living in urban environments.

“…The YRBS utilized a three-stage cluster sample design to create a nationally representative sample of high school students. Detailed information about the YRBS, including the objectives, methodology, and sampling procedure, are available in ( Brener et al, 2013 ; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2020 ; Kann et al, 2018 , Underwood et al, 2020 ) and in other publications by the authors ( Baiden et al, 2020 , Baiden, Graaf, Zaami, Acolatse, & Adeku, 2019 , Baiden, LaBrenz, Asiedua-Baiden, & Muehlenkamp, 2020 , Baiden, Mengo, Boateng, & Small, 2019 , Baiden & Tadeo, 2019 , Baiden & Tadeo, 2020 , Baiden, Tadeo, Tonui, Seastrunk, & Boateng, 2020 ). The study protocol for conducting the YRBS was approved by the CDC's Institutional Review Board (IRB) and is publicly available.…”

“…Age at first alcohol use has been highlighted as a critical factor contributing to a number of health risk behaviors ( Baiden, Mengo, Boateng, & Small, 2019 ; Caetano et al, 2014 ; Ciairano et al, 2009 ; Hingson et al, 2016 ; Hingson & Zha, 2009 ; Peleg-Oren et al, 2009 ) . Liang and Chikritzhs (2015) examined data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) and found that age at first alcohol use before age 18 was significantly associated with a higher risk of heavy episodic drinking at follow-up.…”

Background Although studies have investigated the association between alcohol use and violent behaviors such as weapon carrying, few studies have examined the association between age at first alcohol use and weapon-carrying among adolescents. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between age at first alcohol use and weapon carrying among adolescents. Methods Data for this study came from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. An analytic sample of 13,442 adolescents aged 14–18 years old (51% female) was analyzed using binary logistic regression. The outcome variable investigated in this study was weapon carrying during the past 30 days, and the main explanatory variable investigated was age at first alcohol use. Results Of the 13,442 adolescents, 13.5% carried a weapon during the past 30 days, and 15.4% reported having their first alcoholic drink before age 13. In the multivariable logistic regression, adolescents who reported having alcohol before age 13 had more than double the odds of carrying a weapon when compared to those who never had alcohol before age 13 (AOR = 2.32, p < .001, 95% CI = 1.87-2.89). Other significant factors associated with weapon carrying include male gender, victim of bullying, teen dating violence, sexual violence, suicidal ideation, and history of substance use. Adolescents who self-identified as Black/African American or Hispanic were significantly less likely to carry a weapon when compared to adolescents who self-identified as non-Hispanic White. Conclusion The findings of this study underscore the importance of developing age appropriate intervention strategies to curb early initiation of alcohol use and weapon carrying among adolescents.
