Key Challenges for children in the Dominican Republic

 

  • Gender-based violence is widespread – it is the fourth biggest cause of women’s deaths.
  • Girls are vulnerable to child marriage – two in five are married by 18.
  • Many schools are overcrowded and lack well educated teachers – UNESCO ranks Dominican Republic as having the poorest quality of education in Latin America.
