Abstract: The issue of pupils’ reluctance to report incidences of physical and sexual violence poses a significant difficulty in Tanzania, resulting in adverse consequences such as bodily harm, psychological distress, behavioural problems, and academic progress for the victims. Despite these challenges, primary school pupils are reluctant to report incidences of physical and sexual violence. This study, therefore, explores factors that hinder primary school pupils to report incidences of physical and sexual violence, a case of Moshi district, in Kilimanjaro region, Tanzania. This study employed a mixed approach whereby interviews and questionnaires were used as data collection tools. Random sampling technique was utilized to select 92 students from three primary schools as the study’s sample unit, while a purposeful sampling technique was employed to select 12 key informants (6 teachers and 6 parents) from the total population. The findings have revealed that pupils failed to report physical and sexual incidences due to fear of perpetrators, lack of awareness on reporting channels and support services, and societal and cultural norms. The study suggests that efforts should be made to ensure the safety and protection of victims who decide to report violence, including providing legal support and confidentiality. In addition, schools and community at large should create a safe environment that will encourage students to feel comfortable reporting incidences of physical and sexual violence.
