Abstract

The presence of a child cannot be denied that it is a gift from God. However, not all humans treat their children as a gift from God, but they treat the children like a burden. Children are the nation's next generation. Their future depends on their social, environmental conditions. However, a child has the right to freedom, even protection from any acts of abuse that threaten their life. The Pearl That Broke Its Shell novel by Nadia Hashimi tells a girl in Afghanistan who was subjected to abuse and neglect from her family and the community in her neighborhood since she was a child. This study aims to reveal the types of child abuse and its impact experienced by Shekiba as the main character. This study used The Pearl That Broke Its Shell novel as the primary data and used various scientific writings such as journals, essays, articles, previous studies, and sites discussing the same topic as the secondary data. Descriptive qualitative research describes and understands the types and impacts of child abuse of the character Shekiba in The Pearl That Broke Its Shell novel. The result of this study shows that Shekiba has experienced five out of six types of child abuse and neglect from her own family and environment. Even though she experienced various types and adverse impacts of abuse and neglect since childhood, it did not make Shekiba commit the same acts to her child in the future. Instead, it was her son who became the spirit for Shekiba to continue struggling. Keywords: Child Abuse, Child Neglect, Afghanistan, The Pearl That Broke Its Shell, Nadia Hashimi
