abstract="This study moved away from the usual empirical and moral discussion about all-encompassing child maltreatment mandatory reporting outcomes toward a much more  detailed and nuanced investigation of its implementation in a minority group. We  focused on female Arab art-therapists in Israel working in their community. Twelve  female Arab art-therapists participated in semi-structured interviews. Data were  analysed using grounded theory. Participants' extreme vulnerability was an emergent  quality of analysis and facilitated intersectional framing to account for the  findings. The convergence of gender, ethno-culture and occupational status  constituted unique obstacles to reporting. Participants described an array of  systemic barriers to reporting, some of which could jeopardise their safety and that  of their family and job. They raised doubts about the benefits of reporting  outweighing the harm. Creating a climate in which reporting is possible and  acceptable is the responsibility of the society, rather than that of individuals.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
