  1. Abbreviations: CI Confidence Interval; N Number of observations
  2. Notes: aEstimates are n (weighted %) or prevalence (95% Confidence Interval)
  3. bData comes from a nationally representative sample of children aged 13–17 years from Violence Against Children Surveys
  4. cCambodia did not ask questions on knowledge of where to seek formal help or on receiving formal help
  5. dIn Haiti, informal disclosure was asked for experience of sexual violence only. Due to the wording of questions, we were unable to parse out formal disclosure from receiving help for experience of physical violence. Haiti did not ask questions on knowledge of where to seek help
  6. eIn Kenya, disclosure, both formal and informal, was asked for experience of sexual violence only
  7. fIn Tanzania, help seeking questions were asked for experience of sexual violence only and are therefore not included in this table (as they are listed in Table 2). Questions on knowledge of where to seek formal help were not asked
