The current study examines linkages between perceived community protective factors with reports of child abuse and neglect cases in one khoroo of the two selected districts of Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. Child abuse is preventable when community has a strong sense of protectiveness against child abuse and neglect, especially when community has good support systems for children in difficult circumstances including disabled and disadvantaged children. The study uses secondary administrative data and primary data collected through questionnaires from community members and key informant interviews. Community protective factors include adequate formal and informal supports, accessibility of childcare and kindergarten, families’ supportive informal and formal networks within and out of the resourceful communities. Initial findings demonstrate that the neighborhoods with adequate and sufficient community protective factors are more likely to be safe and have fewer number of reports of child abuse and neglect.
