WHY SEXUAL VIOLENCE?

We understand Sexual violence includes Rape, Child sexual abuse, Sexual assault, Sex trafficking and exploitation, forced marriages, domestic servitude and Female genital mutilation (FGM).

1 in 3 girls becomes a victim of sexual violence before their 18th birthday.


1 in every 5 girls has had a live birth, or they are pregnant with their first child.


40% of the girls drop out of school year due to pregnancy. Most unlikely to return, affecting long-term educational, economic, and health outcomes.


44% of African women, or more than two in five, have been subjected to forms of sexual violence.

86% of our survivor support goes to young women, mostly abused as teenagers.
