Protecting Children from Sexual Abuse.
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a widespread but often unreported issue in Africa due to cultural taboos and lack of awareness. Poverty, limited education, and unstable conditions increase children’s vulnerability to exploitation. CSA includes molestation, trafficking, and other forms of abuse, with devastating physical and emotional effects.
According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 5 girls and 1 in 13 boys in Africa experience sexual abuse before age 18. It happens in schools, homes, and religious settings, affecting both boys and girls.
Get trained today—learn how to identify, prevent, and respond to CSA. Every child deserves protection.
