Abstract
Child neglect is a pervasive and complex public health issue which has significant cultural variance across social ideologies and traditions. This note identifies a gap in the conceptualisation of neglect within Namibia and recognises an opportunity for development of culturally relevant knowledge within the context of normative child-rearing practice.
