▼ M.A.
The sexual molesting of children is a phenomenon that can definitely not be ignored. In April 1989 the Minister of Law and Order intimated in his opening address at a symposium that this phenomenon should certainly not be allowed to spread like a cancer throughout. society. In reality the' sexual molesting of children has a long history throughout many centuries. Sexual child molesting is currently prominently in the forefront since the exposure of this phenomenon in 1988. The South African Police have established Child Protection units country-wide to establish a support system with regard to combatting this phenomenon. Two aims of this study are, amongst others, specifically to determine the profile of the child molester and to determine the origin, functioning and procedure of the Child Protection unit of the South African Police. This study is primarily of an investigative nature since it is aimed at obtaining insight and gaining understanding. The study can also be defined as self-initiated research due to the researcher's interest in the phe,nomenon of child molesting as such. The most important methods followed to realize this study were that firstly a thorough literature study was conducted. Secondly, a pilot investigation was carried out by means of a structured questionnaire that was completed by members of the Child Protection unit of the South African Police in Johannesburg. Four questionnaires were completed and in such a way deficiencies could be identified and eliminated. This structured questionnaire was sent country-wide for completion by Child Protection units. Thirdly, observation through participation was applied in that the researcher entered the milieu of the Child Protection unit of the South African Police in Johannesburg. Lastly, information was continuously documented and systematized in the study.

▼ The aim of this study was to investigate risk factors and explore child sexual abuse among high school pupils in Lusaka District. Specifically, the study focused on identifying the forms of sexual abuse; examine the factors that put children at risk for sexual abuse; find out the grooming tactics used by sexual abusers; find out the disclosure rate for child sexual abuse cases; examine the abuser-victim relationships; and make recommendations for child sexual abuse prevention. Participants were secondary school pupils, with ages ranging from 16 to 21 years. Data was collected using self-report questionnaires and Focus Group Discussions. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
The results show an overall prevalence rate of child sexual abuse to be 43.5% (n=87). Of the 87 victims, 41.1% (n=36) were males and 58.6% (n=51) were females. Among the forms of sexual abuse, sexual touch/arousal had the highest frequency (n=54, 62.1%). Most of the subjects (75.6%, n=19) did not disclose their sexual experiences, whereas only 24.4% (n=19) did. Most
4
abusers were found to be family members (n=39, 44%).
7 risk factors for sexual abuse were examined: the most powerful one was parental absence (n=63, 73.3%); having punitive parents (n=57, 68.7%); alcohol intake by a parent or other guardian (n=30, 34.5%); poor parent-child relationship (n=20, 23.7%); parental conflict (n=19, 22.4%); presence of a stepparent (n=13, 13.1%); and physical disability (n=4, 7%). In addition, chi-square results show that there is a significant relationship between the expected and observed frequencies obtained on the responses given for the risk factors.
Furthermore, the results obtained from the FGDs show that the most frequently used trick for sexual abuse is the offer of money and /other gifts (n=21, 67.8%). Fifty-six (69%) of the victims lacked knowledge to know that the grooming they experienced would result into sexual abuse.
The report makes suggestions on the roles of children, parents, the school and the general community in child sexual abuse prevention. It also gives recommendations for further study in the area of child sexual abuse, specifically to ascertain the levels of awareness among teachers, as these were identified as key players in the prevention of child sexual abuse. An evaluation of the existing sexual abuse prevention programs in Zambian schools is also recommended.

▼ This study examined the interrelations among
sexual victimization, attachment style, interpersonal relationship satisfaction, and substance use.
Sexual victimization (i.e., child
sexual abuse and adult
sexual assault; CSA and ASA) is a major social concern for which further research is needed. While it is difficult to determine which difficulties are direct outcomes of
sexual victimization, both CSA and ASA have been found to be associated with a variety of mental health problems, along with numerous other adverse outcomes across the lifespan (e.g., depression, risk of suicide, attachment insecurity, interpersonal relationship problems, substance
abuse). By further exploring these relations and identifying potential mediating variables, specific therapy techniques may be tailored in order to address these variables in treatment. Factors such as attachment and interpersonal relationships are particularly important to consider when examining
sexual victimization, due to the intimate nature of this type of victimization. It was expected that
sexual victimization in women (controlling for other forms of childhood maltreatment) would predict insecure adult attachment, greater levels of harmful substance use (i.e., drug and alcohol
abuse), and lower reported relationship satisfaction. Results indicated that women who experienced more severe CSA and anxious attachment engaged in greater levels of drug
abuse (i.e., anxious attachment moderated the relation between CSA and drug
abuse). In addition, women who experienced more severe ASA and child psychological
abuse reported greater attachment insecurity (both attachment avoidance and anxiety) in their relationships and engaged in greater levels of substance
abuse (i.e., both drug and alcohol
abuse). Furthermore, women with greater levels of anxious attachment reported lower levels of relationship satisfaction. These findings suggest that clinicians working with women survivors of
sexual victimization should be aware of potential attachment-related difficulties, as well as an increased risk of developing substance use problems that may be stemming from victimization experiences.

▼ D.Litt et.Phil.
Parents, educators, police officers, social workers, psychologists, the courts and child and youth care workers have raised important concerns about the increase of child-on-child sexual abuse among children younger than 12 years and their limited understanding of this phenomenon. New policy and legislation places the emphasis on assessment and intervention that takes account of the rights of children in conflict with the law including victims and the need for the diversion of children from the criminal justice system. The aim and objectives of the study are to explore the nature of child-on-child sexual abuse and their social and familial contexts with the view to making recommendations to inform assessment and intervention for children in conflict with the law. A descriptive and exploratory research design was employed. A mixed methods research design consisting of a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection were used. A non-probability, purposive sampling method was used for both the quantitative and qualitative part of the study based on predetermined selection criteria. In the quantitative component of the study, a questionnaire was administered to 50 boys between 6 and 12 years and to their mothers who were referred to The Teddy Bear Clinic for treatment for sexual acting out behaviours. The qualitative study consisted of a detailed analysis of six case files. The information gathered from the document study was over a longer period of time and consisted of more detailed information. O’Brien and Bera’s (1986) classification of young sex offenders guided the social worker’s assessment of the respondents who were in turn classified according to the levels of risk they presented to society. The findings confirm that this phenomenon exists with the youngest perpetrators in this study being six years old (2%). The majority of the respondents (66%) were 12 years of age and were engaged in more severe or intrusive sexualised behaviour such as attempted rape and rape (48%) and less severe behaviour such as touching of genitals (16%). About 60% of the boys were in the senior primary school. Thus this age group which marks the pubescent phase of development should be considered to be a high risk group to child sexual offending.

▼ The literature on sexual crimes against children has shown different factors contributing to consequences for the victims. Yet, less has been investigated on consequences of sexual abuse mediated by the Internet. The aim of the present study was to examine consequences of Internet-initiated sexual abuse on female victims’ mental health. Analyses of self-rating questionnaires were conducted to examine the victims’ mental health status at the time before, during and after the abuse, during the disclosure, police interrogations, trials and today (six years after trials). Results showed that their mental health today was overall good and how they felt during the disclosure contributed most on how they felt today. Victims that got some support compared to victims that did not after the abuse had better mental health today. The findings provide better understanding of the consequences of Internet-initiated sexual abuse which might help building up more effective treatment programs for victims of such crimes.

▼ Sexual trauma is a serious social and mental health problem that affects more than 25% of women worldwide, with comparable rates in the United States [1,2]. Survivors of
sexual trauma frequently suffer from distorted thoughts about the self and the world but less is known about the processes related to autobiographical memories and time. The following project has three primary aims: 1) to identify mental health symptoms, 2) memory-related outcomes, and 3) temporal changes in college-aged women with and without
sexual trauma during adolescence and young adulthood. Experiment 1 tested depressive, anxiety and trauma-related symptoms as well as ruminative thoughts in women with
sexual trauma versus women with no history of sex-ual trauma. It was hypothesized that women with
sexual trauma would report greater numbers of depressive, anxiety and trauma-related symptoms and ruminative thoughts compared to controls. During Experiment 1, women were interviewed for trauma history with the Structured Interview for DSM-5, and then completed self-report questionnaires for depression, anxiety, trauma-related cognitions and rumination. Women with
sexual trauma (n=34) reported significantly more depressive, anxious, and trauma-related symp-toms, as well as ruminative thoughts (all p’s < 0.01), when compared to those measures in controls (n=94). Correlations among these measures were highly significant (p < 0.001, n=128). Experiment 2 evaluated the details surrounding an autobiographical memory of the most stressful event of one’s past, as well as temporal and spatial cognition. Participants completed the Autobiographical Memory Questionnaire and the Symmetry Span, Temporal Separation and Spatial Discrimination tasks. Women with
sexual trauma (n=34) reported significantly more temporal and spatial details related to the vividness and significance of a past stressful autobiographical memory compared to controls (n=94), p < 0.001. Furthermore, women who reported heightened vividness of the memory reported higher numbers of ruminative and trauma-related thoughts (p < 0.001). Despite these differences in memory recall, no differences in spatial and temporal cogni-tion tasks unrelated to stress were observed (all p’s > 0.05). These data suggest that
sexual trauma can increase the vividness of intense stressful life memories, which may contribute to or minimally interact with their heightened rumination and trauma-related thoughts. In Experiment 3 we tested time sensitivity and subjective time estimation in women with
sexual trauma and controls with a temporal bisection task. During training, participants make temporal judgments of stimulus durations (ranging from 400ms-1600ms) presented as a red circle on a black computer screen. Participants classified probes as being “short” (closer to 400ms duration) or “long” (closer to 1600ms duration) with a keyboard press. The task yields a measure of time sensitivity (i.e., threshold of Just Noticeable Difference) and time of perceived subjective equality (or the bisection point), defined…

▼ Sexual abuse of children of all ages, including infants, happen everyday all over the world (Faulkner, 2006). Despite stiff measures taken by Zambian government to reduce sexual abuse cases, incidences of defilement are not reducing but are higher than rape cases (UTH, 2006). The literature reviewed showed that child sexual abuse is a national, regional and indeed global problem especially in view of the HIV/AIDS pandemic which has made the situation complicated. This was the reason why this study on perpetrators was important since much is known fi-om the abused but the abusers have rarely been studied.The purpose of the study was to explore convicted prisoners' perceptions about child sexual abuse in relation to virgin cure. It was hoped that the findings of this study would provide policy makers and programme administrators with a better understanding of why child sexual abuse is on the increase. The information from this study could be used to develop educational strategies and modify existing messages so that child sexual abuse could be reduced.This was a qualitative study that was carried out among the inmates in Lusaka Central Prison. Eighty nine males aged between 17 and 80 consented and participated in the study. Data were collected using a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) guide and the discussions were tape recorded. A total of twelve Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) were conducted with the inmates. Each group comprised 6-12 respondents with similar characteristics. An in-depth interview was held with the only female sexual abuser convict at the time of the study. Prior to the main study a pilot study was conducted in the Lusaka Central Prison.The data were collected from 21th to 24th January 2007. Data were analyzed by performing content analysis. Content analysis involved an analysis of the content narrative data to identify prominent themes and patterns among the themes. The analysis of data was done as an ongoing process, integrated with data collection and coding. The audio-taped FGDs were fully transcribed and translated into English and compared with the field notes. Open coding was done line by line and paragraph by paragraph. Similar responses were grouped together into categories and regrouped into subcategories. Data were constantly compared through out the process of coding.The findings revealed that children who were vulnerable to sexual abuse were orphans and street children who lacked basic needs including food and shelter. The age group that was identified to have more health problems was five years and below. The health problems included tearing of the private part, STIs and HIV/AIDS, and mental health problems. The study showed that the main factor that made the children vulnerable to sexual abuse was poverty.According to the findings of this study child sexual abuse had some benefits for the sexual abuser like sexual relief and "virgin cure" therefore, any man could be a sexual abuser. The study findings revealed that sexual abuse of girls aged ten and below was ritual sex for "virgin cure".…

▼ This paper provides an account of the experiences and observations that were made by the researcher during the attachment with the Zambia Police Victim Support Unit (VSU)
at Lusaka Central Police Station. The aim of the attachment was to gain experience and
insight in the communication strategies used to disseminate information on Child Sexual
Abuse (CSA), specifically targeting the residents of the high-density area of Kalingalinga in Lusaka. Child Sexual Abuse is a problem that has both psychological and physical consequences for the victim. In the past it was a problem that was solved in the family circles but with education and promotion of children's rights, it is a criminal offence punishable by imprisonment of a minimal of 15 years.The report analyses the conmiunication strategies and how the VSU employs them. It also discusses the extent of the public use and knowledge of the unit and their knowledge on CSA. The report further discusses the relevant theories, comparing and contrasting
them with the strategies used by the VSU.
The report is expected to enlighten personnel at the VSU on the effectiveness of their strategies and also their weaknesses so that they can design effective messages for educating the community on CSA.

▼ Childhood
sexual abuse transcends boundaries of social class, race, age and gender. Research suggests that its effects are so profoundly debilitating that even in adulthood, victims struggle with a range of emotional, psychological and behavioural challenges. Nationally, South Africa has experienced a high prevalence of childhood
sexual abuse, with a noticeable reporting of
sexual abuse amongst children whose mothers survived childhood
sexual abuse. The current study was aimed at exploring and describing the experiences of maternal survivors of childhood
sexual abuse (CSA) whose children also disclosed childhood
sexual abuse. It furthermore explored the maternal intergenerational transference of
sexual abuse and its influence on parenting, as well as exploring how the experience of childhood
sexual abuse influences maternal parental practice and confirms or negates whether
sexual abuse is generational. A qualitative research design was used to explore the experiences and perceptions of seven mothers who experienced
sexual abuse as children, whose children also disclosed
sexual abuse. The sample was purposefully drawn and the interviews were conducted at the premises of two counselling organisations, where they (mothers/children) were receiving counselling. The researcher made use of in-depth interviewing with maternal survivors of childhood
sexual abuse whose children also disclosed childhood
sexual abuse. The data was collected using an interview schedule with open-ended questions, which facilitated the interview process. Interviews that were conducted with the maternal survivors of childhood
sexual abuse were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data from the study was analysed using thematic analysis, with all data managed manually. Ethical considerations were deliberated to participants who provided signed, informed consent for participation in the study. The findings were revealed in four themes. Theme one describes the experience of loss as a result of the CSA, which included loss of childhood, loss of relationships with family and friends, and loss of parental attachment. Theme two describes the interpersonal and psychological challenges resulting from CSA. A range of psychological and interpersonal sequelae resulting from the CSA experience poses many challenges for the maternal survivor of CSA. These include post-traumatic stress, cognitive distortions, emotional distress, avoidance, and interpersonal difficulties. Theme three describes the barriers affecting the maternal survivor's sense of Self, which includes negative body image and negative self-image. Maternal survivors of CSA struggle with issues pertaining to negative body image, which is as a result of the CSA experience. Issues pertaining to negative self-image were also captured. Theme four describes the parental practice of the maternal survivor and coping capacity, which includes challenges affecting the parental role, the maternal survivor's reaction to her children’s disclosure, as well as the coping strategies adopted to cope and move on.…

Psychological impact of child sexual abuse on primary caregivers in Lusaka, Zambia.

▼ Many previous researchers on child sexual abuse (CSA) found that support and protec-tion from the caregiver provide the child an effective platform for quick recovery and improvement in mental health and social functioning (Lovett, 2004). Nonetheless, not all caregivers are supportive of survivors; recent research findings, instead, show that incidents of CSA have debilitating psychological impact on survivors’ caregivers which impair their parental functioning (Bolan & Lamb, 2004; Manion et al, 1996). There is a suggestion that, to improve their own mental health and enhance their parental func-tioning, such caregivers be exposed to psychological care. Such a justification need to be informed by empirical evidence. This study explored whether a systematic link exists between an incident of CSA and psychological changes in caregivers, thereby justifying their psychological care.Participants in the study were 34 caregivers of CSA survivors who brought their cases to Victim Support Unit (VSU), Young Women’s Christians Association (YWCA) and/or Uni-versity Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Lusaka. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and a semi-structured interview schedule formed the key instruments of data collection. Nonpar-ametric Kruskal-Wallis Test, Mann-Whitney U Test and Chi-Square Test for Independ-ence were applied to measure various relationships in the data as explained below. Thematic analyses were conducted on caregivers’ narratives which formed the core qualitative data. Overall PSS scores indicated that an incident of CSA results in a debilitating psychologi-cal impact on caregivers of the survivors. Further, a Mann-Whitney U test gave a statis-tically significant difference in the levels of perceived stress experienced by maternal caregivers (Mean rank = 19.38, n = 29) and paternal ones (Mean rank = 6.60, n = 5): z = 2.66, p .01). Maternal caregivers reported greater overall distress than paternal ones. The Kruskal_Wallis Test showed no significant relationship between PSS scores and survivors’ demographic variables measured in the Study.Thematic analyses of narratives showed that some caregivers were supportive and pro-tective of their children; others were angry with them. The difference appeared to be explained by a number of socio-demographic and abuse related factors: age, schooling, type of abuse, number of incidents of CSA and injuries sustained. A Chi-Square Test showed a significant link between these factors and caregivers’ level of support for their children (See Table 10). Perceived powerlessness of the survivor in the abuse pro-cess represented by young age, once-off sexual intercourse, perpetrator’s use of force and injuries was linked to high levels of caregiver’s support. Caregivers’ hostility toward the survivor was linked to child’s old age, school enrollment, elopement, absence of use of force, high number of episodes of CSA and lack of injuries.It was found that caregivers’ level of support for their children also affected what care-givers considered to be appropriate intervention for them:…

▼ Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is associated with various immediate and long-term effects, including interpersonal maladjustment. Research has demonstrated a relationship between CSA and subsequent parenting outcomes, such as feeling less confident in the parenting role or being more likely to use harsh discipline practices. The current study examined the relationship between CSA and subsequent parenting skills, specifically perceived parenting competence and parenting practices. This study also examined the potential internalizing, externalizing, and overall problems in children of mothers sexually abused in childhood. Taking into consideration the failure in the literature to account for the role of other variables in determining parenting difficulties, this study examined the mediational role of childhood physical abuse and maternal depression on the parenting outcomes of mothers. The findings of this study indicated that sexually abused mothers did not significantly differ from nonabused mothers in how effective they felt as mothers. Contrary to the hypotheses, the results did not suggest that CSA mothers were more lax or over reactive than their nonabused counterparts. However, the findings revealed that compared to nonabused mothers, sexually abused mothers were more likely to employ hostile parenting practices. In addition, the results of the current study revealed that CSA mothers who reported being more lax in their parenting were more likely to have children who exhibited more externalizing and internalizing behavior problems as compared to the control group. In contrast, there were no significant correlations found between the parenting practices of nonabused mothers and their children's behaviors. The results provided support for maternal depression as a mediator in the relationship between CSA and parenting practices, specifically over reactivity and hostility. Maternal depression did not mediate the relationship between CSA and maternal self-efficacy, or between CSA and laxness. This study found support for the role of childhood physical abuse (CPA) as a mediator in the link from CSA to hostile parenting. However, the findings did not suggest that CPA mediated the relationship between CSA and the other parenting outcomes under study. Possible interpretations of the results are presented. Clinical implications and directions for future research are also discussed.

▼ The prevalence of child sexual abuse continues to be a major public health problem worldwide. Recent international studies shows that between 8 – 31% of girls and 3-17% of boys experience childhood sexual abuse. While most of the research has concentrated on determining the magnitude of child sexual abuse in Zambia, very few studies have been done on factors that influence self-disclosure of abuse among young people. The aim of this study was to assess factors which influence self-disclosure of abuse among boys and girls in Lusaka. The objectives of the study were: to explore the nature and experiences of abuse suffered by boys and girls; to identify factors which influence self-disclosure of abuse among boys and girls and to assess the strategies used by boys and girls to cope with abuse.
These objectives were met by a descriptive study design with both quantitative and qualitative approach. The target population was 150 which consisted of victims of sexual abuse associated with YWCA. Simple random sampling and purposive sampling was used to select the sample of participants aged between 8-18 years from this population. Questionnaires (60) were administered through personal interviews which consisted of mainly closed-ended questions. In-depth interviews (13) were conducted to answer open-ended questions. The quantitative data was analysed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) and qualitative were grouped in trends and analysed thematically.
The results revealed that majority of the participants did not disclose sexual abuse to anyone and that most of them had experienced various forms of sexual abuse with the highest prevalence being vaginal sex. Lack of discussion of sexual issues between children and parents/guardians and the good relationship which the victim enjoyed with perpetrator before abuse were among the factors that influenced self-disclosure of abuse. Results on coping strategies showed positive attitude in using social withdrawal coping strategies and negative attitude in using social support coping strategies. The study concluded that the rate of self-disclosure is low and there are numerous factors that influence it.
It is recommended that parents discuss sexual issues with their children. The Government should also release the list of sexual offenders to the public so that community members are aware of sexual offenders living within their community

▼ The study investigated the communication strategies used to address the problem of child defilement: A case study of the operations of the Department of Child Development in Chisanga village of Kasama District. Despite harsh penalties or sentences imposed upon all convicted child defilers which range from a minimum of 14 years to the maximum of life sentence, more children continue to be defiled. This implies that the environment in which children are growing up is no longer safe. The other source of concern is that so many sensitisation campaigns against child defilement have been conducted. However, it appears that these are not yielding positive results as evidenced by the marked increase in the number of reported defilement cases since 2000. This could be attributed to ineffective communication strategies that are in place to sensitise the general public against this vice. It may also imply that the messages being disseminated are not effective enough and that they could be targeted at wrong persons.
The general objective of the research was to assess the communication strategies used by the Department of Child Development to address the problem of child defilement in Chisanga village. The specific objectives were to examine the communication strategies the department used to disseminate messages to the public; to determine what messages on child defilement the department communicated to Chisanga village; to assess whether the residents of Chisanga village knew that child defilement was a crime; to establish reasons why people in Chisanga village defiled children; to find out how residents of Chisanga village perceived child defilers and to find out which media forms Chisanga residents had access to for information acquisition.
The research design used in this study was a case study. Purposive sampling and Convenience sampling were used to collect data from Ministry of Gender and Child Development staff, stakeholders and respondents respectively. Both primary and secondary data was collected. Primary data was collected using participant observation, questionnaires, research interview guides administered to key informants. Secondary data was collected from previous research, text books, internet and field reports. Data was analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS). The major findings of the study were that the Department of Child Development had very poor communication strategies marked by heavy usage of a local community radio station which was apparently not accessible by everyone. The messages disseminated were also rare and inadequate to foster attitude change. It is hoped that through this study the department would begin to craft better communication strategies that would bring about positive behavioural change.

▼ Individual factors that might influence the way sexual abuse is defined and
perceived within a culture include gender, the extent to which one adheres to and internalizes traditional roles, and levels of acculturation. The underlying assumption in many studies regarding child sexual abuse is that there is a correlation between perception of abuse and abusive behaviour – a positive mind-set towards abuse may lead to abusive behaviour. The aim of this study was to explore what the perception of adolescent males were regarding sexual abuse in order for social workers to have a better understanding of the adolescent male regarding sexual abuse. Interviews were conducted with 20 adolescent males to gain a keener insight into their perception of sexual abuse. From the data received it was found that adolescent males do not have adequate
knowledge regarding the broader definition of sexual abuse, and that
misconceptions still persist. The respondents‟ main source of information regarding sex and sexual abuse was the school. The sex education focuses mainly on anatomical and physiological information and lacks information on sexual abuse and sexual values. From data received, it was also found that the majority of parents never spoke to the adolescent males about sex; the respondents received no education from their parents concerning sexual abuse. A holistic approach is necessary when educating the adolescent male, which entails a comprehensive sexual education that focuses on sexual abuse, sexual values and preventative behaviour. A holistic approach requires sexual education provided in the home, the school as well as the community. It should consist of an integration of informal and formal education. Other organisations in the community such as NGO‟s, counselling centres and medical support centres should also form part of this holistic approach as they can offer valuable assistance.

▼ Educator sexual abuse is rarely discussed, although literature shows that it occurs at an alarming rate. This paper discusses the literature that does exist about educator sexual abuse, as well as the prevalence of this type of sexual abuse. Aspects of the trauma are discussed including grooming, blaming the victim, and the guilt and denial associated with the abuse. The paper concludes with recommendations for counselors who are working with girls who have experienced educator sexual abuse. Inner child work, guided imagery, and trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy are referenced.

▼ In recent years, there has been an increased interest in broadening the study of sexual abuse to include male child victims and to investigating the well-being of male adults with a history of sexual abuse. The research is however primarily descriptive. This study applied a theoretical framework to the investigation of coping patterns amongst three groups of male undergraduate students (those with a history of childhood sexual abuse, those with a history of negative events other than sexual abuse, and those with a non-victimizing history) attending a large Canadian university and a large community college. One hundred and thirty-five male respondents (M age = 22.17 years) completed a survey regarding their self-worth, assumptions about the benevolence and meaningfulness of the world, degree of gender role stress, choice of coping strategies in interpersonal stressful situations, and history of negative childhood events. Thirteen respondents reported having been sexually abused as a child (9.63% of the total), 25 respondents reported
having experienced victimizing events other than sexual abuse (18.52%),
and 97 respondents reported no victimizing events (71.86%).
Hierarchical multiple regression analyses were used to investigate the
effect of the self and world assumptions, and gender role stress upon
the relationship between victim status and the use of coping strategies
in a interpersonal stressful situation. As hypothesized, there was a
significant linear relationship between the schema and gender role
stress scores, and the coping score, which accounted for 21% of the
variance. Distortion in schematic patterns and high gender role stress
distortion upon the relationship between victimization status and the use of maladaptive coping patterns, however did not arise. The findings contribute knowledge about the effect of undergraduate men's values and beliefs upon coping patterns.

▼ Almost a quarter of women experience some kind of childhood
sexual abuse (CSA). Although CSA is associated with subsequent difficulties in women’s
sexual well-being and parenting, few studies have examined whether maternal CSA history impacts how parents navigate the
sexual development of their children. Using a cross-sectional sample of 194 low-income adolescents girls (Mean age = 15.4), the goal of this study was to: 1) test whether maternal CSA is predictive of adolescent
sexual risk behaviors (SRBs), and 2) identify parenting/family characteristics (
sexual communication,
sexual beliefs, parental monitoring and autonomy granting, and mother-daughter relationship quality) that may mediate this relationship. Maternal CSA history was not directly related to adolescent SRBs, but was predictive of a number of parenting/family characteristics related to SRBs. In families with maternal CSA, daughters reported more frequent and less embarrassing communication, endorsed more open beliefs about sex, perceived more of their peers as sexually active, and felt more autonomy in making decisions about dating. Mothers with a CSA history perceived their daughters as more embarrassed talking about sex and reported less monitoring of their daughters activities. Maternal CSA history was indirectly related to SRBs through several of these characteristics. Although the magnitude of most effects was small, these differences may become more pronounced as girls grow older and engage in a broader range of
sexual activity. The findings suggest that maternal CSA may have intergenerational effects on
sexual development that should be considered in interventions aimed at promoting adolescent
sexual health.

The relationship between affective appraisal of physiological sexual arousal and sexual dysfunction among women with a history of childhood sexual abuse.

▼ Women with a history of childhood
sexual abuse (CSA) are at a higher risk of
sexual dysfunction than non-abused women and standard treatments for
sexual dysfunction have been less effective in abused women. Although low desire is the
sexual difficulty most commonly reported by women in general, for abused women arousal problems are most prevalent. The variation in presentation of
sexual dysfunction and treatment response for abused women suggests that the
sexual dysfunction of abused women may develop via unique pathways from that of their non-abused peers. The aim of this study was to identify mechanisms underlying the relationship between a history of CSA and
sexual dysfunction. Prior work suggests that
sexual arousal may be associated with negative affect and trauma memories for abused women, therefore I hypothesized that greater negative and shameful and less positive appraisal of genital
sexual arousal would explain the relationship between a history of CSA and
sexual dysfunction. I also tested a number of other candidate mechanisms to explain this relationship. Participants were 107 women from the local community: 61 abused women and 46 non-abused women. Participants completed a single laboratory session in which they viewed an erotic film and completed questionnaires on appraisal of genital
sexual arousal and other candidate mechanisms. Results supported the notion that the
sexual difficulties of abused women develop through distinct pathways by indicating that appraisal of genital
sexual arousal and body image focused on
sexual attractiveness explain the relationship between a history of CSA and
sexual dysfunction. Greater negative appraisal of genital arousal and one’s own
sexual attractiveness during
sexual arousal could be highly distracting to abused women trying to engage in consensual
sexual activity and suggest an extension of Barlow’s cognitive affective model of
sexual function to abused women. Although Barlow’s model helps to explain the
sexual function of women in general, the current results suggest that the content that distracts women during
sexual activity may differ by
abuse history. Clinically these findings call for greater attention to negative appraisals of genital arousal and the overall body when treating
sexual dysfunction in women with a history of CSA.

▼ Potential pathways from child
sexual abuse (CSA) to later
sexual problems were examined in a prospective longitudinal study of 121 ethnically diverse adolescents with confirmed cases of CSA. Participants were assessed at
abuse discovery, when they were 7 to 15 years old, and again one and six years later. Initial sexually anxious
abuse reactions predicted lower levels of subsequent
sexual problems, while the persistence of eroticized reactions predicted higher levels. Externalizing behaviors immediately following
abuse discovery were marginally significant predictors of later
sexual problems.
Abuse severity was not predictive of
sexual problems. Overall, results from this study highlight the importance of sex-specific
abuse reactions in predicting subsequent
sexual difficulties in adolescent survivors of
sexual abuse. Interventions that target cognitive distortions surrounding intimacy and facilitate healthy romantic relationship functioning may be effective in preventing and alleviating
sexual problems among CSA youth.

▼ Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) is a growing public health issue of international concern that requires immediate attention. A total of 45.3% of Zambia's population are children. This study was looking at the perception of factors that have led to the occurrence of Child Sexual Abuse in Lusaka Urban district. The study estimated the burden of Child Sexual Abuse occurring and illustrated the findings according to age range, sex and the number of prosecuted cases.
This was a cross-sectional study that utilized both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis to assess the extent of Child Sexual Abuse cases in Lusaka Urban district and the perception of factors that have led to the occurrence of Child Sexual Abuse. The study population comprised of programme officers from organisations that are working in the area of Child Sexual Abuse and residents of Chilenje community. The data was collected by means of a Focussed Group discussion guide and an Interview schedule. A total of six (6) FGDs were conducted with seven (7) participants in each group. In addition ten (10) KI interviews were conducted with participants from various organisations working on CSA programmes.
Results
A total of 1079 Child Sexual Abuse cases were reported in 2008 and out of these 1049 victims were females. In addition a total of 628 children aged between 11-15 years were abused in 2008. In 2009, a total of 1676 Child Sexual Abuse cases were reported to the police, of which there have only been 277 convictions.
Some key factors such as culture, HIV, myths, poor parenting practices and socio-economic factors were identified as key factors that have contributed to the occurrence of CSA.
Conclusion
We conclude that a national task force on Child sexual Abuse should be established. Furthermore, there is need for standardised reporting and data management systems. In addition there is need to formulate policies across health, psychosocial and legal sectors. There is also need to coordinate with communities in order to formulate adequate Child Sexual Abuse prevention programmes.

▼ Although some experts have indicated system interventions as psychologically harmful, very few researchers have attempted to explore the impact of legal societal system interventions (Ryan, Perry, 1987). With the advent of increased cases of child sexual abuse in Zambia in which many perpetrators have been acquitted because of insufficient evidence given by the child, it is imperative to assess if the investigatory processes (court proceedings or legal service) interventions by the societal mandated authorities in intrafamilial child sexual abuse cases increase the level of trauma experienced in child victims following disclosure.An in-depth study approach which followed a descriptive research design was used. This involved the use of both qualitative and quantitative research methods.The present study indicates that certain types of legal societal system interventions such as subjecting a sexually abused child witness to multiple questioning, many interviews, regular courts used by adults, separating a child from her mother/caregiver, inadequate trust during the investigation further traumatized sexually abused children. Based on these of policies and procedures designed to reduce stress and to enhance improvement in children‟s ability to give their best evidence, results it is recommended that a link be strengthened between implementation

▼ Adolescence is one group which has been identified as a risk group. According to World Health Organisation adolescence is a period from 10 to 20 years of age.
This study focussed on the basic and secondary school-going adolescents, whose ages were from 13 to 20 years. The 10 to 12 years age group has been observed to be still in primary school, hence their not being part of the study group.The study assessed adolescents' knowledge of the causes and effects of sexual abuse. It also sought to establish their perception of the scourge. The main areas assessed included the definition of sexual abuse, it's effects to the victims and their perception—of sexual abuse.A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a sample of 300 people aged 13 to 20 randomly selected from 7 secondary and basic schools in Lusaka using systematic random sampling method. Data was collected using focus group discussion structured questionnaire.Despite the majority (93 percent) being aware of the problem; only 79.7 percent defined it correctly in relation to unconsented sexual intercourse. There was no association between sex and understanding of sexual abuse definition (P = 0.920). More than two thirds (71.7 percent) had low levels of knowledge of the causes of sexual abuse. Only 0.7 percent had high knowledge and 18.7 percent medium knowledge. Location of school was significant in the knowledge of the causes of sexual abuse (P = 0.020).As regards to the effects, only 4 percent possessed high levels of knowledge, of the effects of sexual abuse with the majority 67.3 percent exhibiting low levels of knowledge. This is a striking finding in that 84.3 percent of the respondents had alluded to the knowledge that victims of sexual abuse suffered from the after¬effects of sexual abuse but could not outline the effects. Even those who lived with their parents did not differ from the adolescents who lived with relatives or others in terms of knowledge of the effects of sexual abuse (P = 0.859).The levels of knowledge were interrelated with the school the respondent attended. There was an observed difference in knowledge between the adolescents who attended basic schools and those who went to secondary schools, despite them being in the same grades.The study showed rather incorrect perception of sexual abuse. Though 79 percent of the respondents gave the right definition, they still did not view forced sexual relations with their peers as being abusive. A good number too, mainly females had a similar view regarding sexual intercourse with older men who paid them in kind. Due to the harsh economy and poverty, selling sex has become an accepted practice among some sectors of society. The HIV/AIDS pandemic has not spared the adolescents. Since the older people go for the young whom they feel are not infected.
However, the adolescents opinions regarding the perpetrators of sexual abuse, generally was that the government should change legislation to increase the penalty levied on them in the form of severe punishment like castration or increasing the number of…

▼ The definition of child sexual abuse is problematic as it encompasses various meanings within different cultures. This in turn leads to difficulty in measuring the exact incidence and prevalence of child sexual abuse within a country. Many researchers, however, agree that the incidence and prevalence of child sexual abuse within South Africa is significantly high and poses a large threat to many children. As a result, the government has implemented legislation and various policies to protect children from sexual abuse, as well as to provide the victims of such abuse with the necessary assistance. As child sexual abuse may have considerable short- and long-term effects on the child, it is essential that the child be adequately supported.
Through various welfare programmes, the government aims to provide support and treatment to children who have been sexually abused. Professionals working with sexually abused children work in a highly stressful environment and often show symptoms of vicarious traumatisation, secondary trauma, burnout and compassion fatigue as a result. South Africa in particular faces further problems, in that the welfare programmes are often underfunded and lack the support needed to effectively help sexually abused children. This has led to a need for community members to volunteer in order to help alleviate some of the stress on professionals working within the field of child sexual abuse.
Community members can volunteer in various ways within many different spheres of the community. Their motivations to volunteer vary and range from wanting to give back to the community, to wanting to further their education. Volunteers in South Africa that work within the field of child sexual abuse may also, however, experience many of the same symptoms as the professionals with whom they work. This often leads to a high dropout and turnover rate in volunteer programmes. That said, if volunteers feel a sense of satisfaction and support within their work environment, the organisation’s retention rate will be higher.
Literature has shown that South Africa’s mental health services rely on volunteers to help alleviate the workload, particularly in the area of sexual abuse. While much research has been done on the supportive needs of professionals working with sexually abused children, little research has been conducted on the secondary trauma experienced by volunteers working within this field. This qualitative study is therefore important because it explores the supportive needs of volunteers working at an organisation for sexually abused children in a small community in Somerset West. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the North-West University and the participants gave their informed consent before taking part in the study. Data were gathered through discussion groups and individual interviews with six volunteers. Through the process of crystallisation and the four standards of trustworthiness, the reliability of the findings was ensured. Using thematic analysis, various themes and subthemes were…

▼ (Finkelhor, 1986; Haugaard & Dickon Reppucci, 1988) have
concluded that there is insufficient information on how to
treat child
sexual abuse (CSA). The reported incidence of
CSA has substantially increased, hence, the need for
treatment approaches has escalated. The purpose of this
study was to provide clinicians who treat CSA with a
descriptive account of the methods currently used by art
therapists to treat sexually-abused children of differing
ages who present with different issues.
One hundred and forty-six certified and/or diplomaed art
therapists, aged 26 to 66, who had training and experience in
CSA treatment were solicited through the national art therapy
associations in Canada and the United States. They responded
to case-simulation surveys which consisted of a case history,
photograph, and self-portrait of a hypothetical sexually abused
girl aged 4, 8, or 13 who presented with either the
issue of body image distortion or guilt. Open-ended or
multiple choice research questions on the art therapist's
treatment approach, choice of media, directives, use of time,
use of therapeutic interactions, use of debriefing process,
opinions on the function of art in the session, and method of
evaluation were utilized to obtain a qualitative description
of the art therapy approach to working with a child of a
certain age presenting with a particular issue.
A content analysis of the qualitative data resulted in
the identification of thematic categories which described the
goals, directives, debriefing process, and the function of
art in the session. The responses to the questions on time
use and media were analyzed similarly. The frequency of
responses for the multiple choice answers and the thematic
categories were calculated and then compared across the age
and issue variables, in the form of percentages. A
comprehensive clinical description of the art therapists'
approaches to CSA treatment was obtained for the whole
sample, and across age, and issue. The subjects' responses
were paraphrased to illustrate these differences for each
question.
The main findings were: (a) art therapists addressed the
main issues of CSA, as described by traditional verbal
therapists (Sgroi, 1982), and employed both directive and
nondirective styles in their approaches; (b) art therapists
were sensitive to the developmental level of the child
depicted in the case simulation and adapted their approach
to meet the child's needs (i.e., the sessions with younger
children were characterized by different media choices,
and directives, the therapists spent more time being
supportive and nurturing, provided physical contact, snacks,
used art-as-therapy, spent less time discussing and more
time playing and doing, allowing the child to work out her
issues through using her body and the media whereas with the
adolescents, art was used as psychotherapy and catharsis more
frequently and discussion and debriefing were utilized to
help change her thinking about the
abuse experience), (c)
art therapists…

▼ In many professional practice settings, it is very likely that social workers will work with female clients who identify as lesbian or bisexual. These sexual minority females are more likely to be overweight or obese, have a history of childhood sexual abuse, and have more positive attitudes toward overweight and obesity than heterosexual women. In this study, the author sought to identify the relationship between childhood sexual abuse, obesity, (specifically, body mass index [BMI]), and attitudes toward obesity among lesbian and bisexual women. Eighty-five sexual minority females completed a survey. Childhood sexual abuse was found to be positively correlated with BMI. However, lesbians’ attitudes toward obesity were not associated with childhood sexual abuse nor were they found to be associated with BMI. Additionally, lesbians did not report significantly different attitudes toward BMI based on their own BMI and history of childhood sexual abuse. These findings are further discussed in the context of previous research, limitations, and implications for direct practice.

▼ Child
sexual abuse (CSA) in boys has been shown to have long lasting and devastating effects on men's lives. Negative health outcomes such as anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, poor social skills, destructive lifestyles, and mistrust towards others are only a few of the reported after-effects. Research of CSA is largely focused on girls and women, leaving a relative shortage on men. This qualitative study attempts to add to the dearth of literature in this field by reporting findings from narrative interviews with men who were sexually abused as children. The aim was to investigate how men reconciled their early experiences of CSA with everyday life and their relationships with others. Seven participants of New Zealand European and one participant of Māori descent participated in a loosely structured conversational interview. The study was guided by narrative theory and social constructionist epistemology using thematic narrative analysis to interpret the data. The findings are discussed within seven overarching themes: Shame, guilt, and lost self-identities illustrates how survivors of CSA can become very isolated due to their internalised feelings of inferiority and self-blame. The participants' inability to share their experiences alienated them from others as much as themselves, which ultimately affected their sense of belonging. CSA instilled feelings of self-loathing and inadequacy as well as it fostered low self-esteem and led to the loss of their self-identity. Anger and hurt - a kind of death/an empty shell highlights the expression of heightened anger resulting from their experiences and isolation. Participants appeared confused, lost and empty without aspirations or hopes for the future. It describes a long process of regaining meaning in life, which some men found in fatherhood despite its challenges. Escaping the pain describes the men's emotional and physical turmoil, which triggered attempts to forget past events. Many participants engaged in violence and substance use, tried to become someone else, or end their life. Damage boils over talks about the participants' memories of their CSA experiences and the associated effects on their daily lives. It demonstrates how CSA can affect men's emotional stability and reactions when situations become too distressing. Mistrust - a place of safety summarises participants' feelings of mistrust towards others and their difficulty to accept forms of authority. It highlights CSA's potential aftermath in regards to interpersonal and romantic relationships as well as over protectiveness towards children. Social norms and barriers to disclosure discusses the difficulties surrounding disclosure of CSA, spanning both childhood and adulthood. Further, it shows how social norms such as hegemonic masculinity can influence outcomes. From missed opportunities to healing describes regrets about perceived undeveloped talents, educational opportunities, or loss of family. The theme shows how coping mechanisms helped to navigate life and describes the benefits…

▼ Sexual abuse perpetrated by trusted members of the clergy presents unique challenges to clinicians and yet the current literature on the effects of clergy sexual abuse is sparse. The vast majority of current research on clergy sexual abuse is based on the perspective of the perpetrators and not the survivors. Some literature suggests that clergy sexual abuse is equivalent to incest due to the level of betrayal trauma associated with each form of abuse. The current study seeks to examine the effects of clergy perpetrated sexual abuse on survivors and examine those effects in the context of the general literature on childhood sexual abuse. Adult male and female survivors of clergy sexual abuse were recruited online and asked to complete a series of self-report measures of religiosity, spirituality, and traumatic symptomology, including the Spiritual Beliefs Inventory (SBI-15R), Spiritual Wellbeing Scale (SWBS), and the Trauma Symptoms Inventory-2 (TSI-2). Participants also provided demographic information and completed a structured self-report questionnaire of history of sexual abuse. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated that there were no between-group differences on measures of trauma or existential belief, but found that those abused by clergy reported lower levels of religious beliefs and practice, less social support from their religious community, less satisfaction with their relationship with God, and were more likely to have changed their religious affiliation. These data suggest that abuse perpetrated by clergy has a unique and measurable impact on survivors’ future religiosity and spirituality as compared to other forms of childhood sexual abuse.

▼ Background
Child
abuse is a serious and devastating problem rooted within our communities. According to the South African Police Services (SAPS) crime statistics of 2006 & 2007, the four most common crimes committed (and attempted) against children were rape, common assault, and assault with attempt to do grievous bodily harm. Because this problem has it's roots within our homes and communities it must be unpacked from a community level.
Aim and objectives:
This study aims to describe the patterns of child
abuse in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town and to gain insight into the knowledge and perceptions of the Ravensmead Community regarding child physical and
sexual abuse.
Methods
This was done by exploring the knowledge and perceptions of the Ravensmead community on various aspects of child physical and
sexual abuse including perceptions of victim and perpetrator profiles, responses to victims of child physical and
sexual abuse, their knowledge of and access to avenues of help. The study also describes the patterns of child
abuse in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town as documented in the case record reviews of children presenting to the Karl Bremer Hospital at the Rape crises Centre.
In order to explore the knowledge of the Ravensmead community of child physical and
sexual abuse, the researcher designed a structured questionnaire and conducted a door-to-door survey. A total of 279 respondents were obtained. Specific areas of enquiry included knowledge of definitions, perceptions of perpetrators, perceptions of predisposing circumstances and perception of avenues for help and where education programs should be aimed.
Patterns of Child physical and
sexual abuse presenting at the Rape Crises Centre at Karl Bremer Hospital was determined by conducting a case record review. Information regarding victim and perpetrator profiles, injuries sustained and home circumstance as documented in these case records was described. An in-depth interview conducted at the Rape Crises centre with parents of child victims of physical and
sexual abuse provided qualitative information relating to patterns and perceptions of child physical and
sexual abuse. Data from these three methods was then triangulated.
Study design
The researcher has chosen to do a descriptive study using methodological triangulation. The aim of the research is to describe the patterns of child
abuse (physical and
sexual) and to gain further insight into the perceptions and knowledge of the Ravensmead Community regarding child
sexual and physical
abuse. This was undertaken using a descriptive study design. A combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to enhance the overall validity of the results.
Setting
Ravensmead is an impoverished community in the Northern Suburbs of the Western Cape. The high rate of crimes committed against children in this community is a reflection of the situation in the rest of the country. The Karl Bremer hospital Rape Crisis Center is the centre to which all cases of child
sexual abuse and child physical…

▼ Numerous studies have been done on child
sexual violence/
abuse (CSV/A).
Sexual victimization of minors remains a constant problem globally. Section 28(1) (d) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996 (South Africa, 1996) provides that every child has the right to be safeguard from ill-treatment, desertion, exploitation and degradation. November 2014 marked the 25th anniversary of the United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). On this occasion, the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) called on the
South African government to once again prioritise children’s rights as a key government agenda, to commit to its obligations under the CRC, to uphold the promise made to South Africa’s children by the late Nelson Mandela, and to heed his powerful words: “History will judge us by the differences we make in the everyday lives of children”.
In-depth interviews were conducted with 20 community members of Ngangelizwe Township in Mthatha, Eastern Cape province. The interviews were held in the period August 2016 - September 2016. The aim of the investigation was to determine the social, biological, and psychological effects of child
sexual offences on children and as well as their parents, families, and the community at large. The study explored the authentic views of Township people, as there is limited scholarly literature on child
sexual abuse and particularly on the experiences of Township residents of this atrocious act. Community members shared their views on the effects of child
sexual assault, and there was common agreement that the
sexual abuse of a child destroys the psychological and physical well-being not only of the child, but also of the parents. Sexually abused children show signs of depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, mental disturbance, and post-traumatic stress disorder. They also lose focus at school and they often isolate themselves from other children. These children lose trust not only in the person who sexually abused them, but in all older people, as it is usually adults who perpetrate this crime. Sexually abused children experience memory loss, always live in fear, and experience anxiety disorders long after the event.
