We wish to invite you to participate in a peace revolution project which strives to facilitate positive transformation in young people’s personal and moral development as well as to implement the universality of Inner Peace in a culturally diverse African continent.

Sexual Abuse and Violence in Sub-Saharan Africa

Sexual abuse and violence are serious problems that transcend racial, economic, social and regional lines. Violence is frequently directed toward females and youth, who lack the economic and social status to resist or avoid it.  Adolescents and young women, in particular, may experience abuses in the form of domestic violence, rape and sexual assault, sexual exploitation, and/or female genital mutilation.  Accurately estimating the prevalence of sexual abuse and violence in the developing world is difficult due to the limited amount of research done on the subject. Cultural mores against reporting abuse make it difficult to assess accurately, and few adolescent health programs in sub-Saharan African address these critical issues.
