Fiji is marking the Prevention of Child Abuse and Neglect Day in the central and western division through various events. 

Last year, 1968 cases of child abuse were recorded. 

Save the Children chief executive officer Shairana Ali says the true number is higher with many cases going unreported. 

She speaks to RNZ Pacific's Caleb Fotheringham.
