Child sexual abuse presents itself differently in different parts of the world. In some parts of the world child sexual abuse is very common and popular compared to other countries where child sexual abuse aren't so high. One country where child sexual abuse rates are very high is South Africa. According to Laccino “in South Africa every three minutes a child gets raped”. This is a big issue in South Africa because they have a believe that if someone with HIV has sex with someone who is a virgin that heals them. This idea leads people with HIV abuse an innocent child. This a serious problem because not only does this cause psychological problems to the victim but they get infected with HIV which causes HIV rates to go up as well. Laccino says “some of the victims were as young as six months”. Most of the time this victims die because of the injuries they suffer and in other cases the victims contracted HIV.
Another issue that is interconnected with child sexual abuse is the trafficking of children around the world. Child trafficking is the forced labor of children, sexual exploitation, or the removal of organs. According to the article united nations office on drugs and crimes “globally one in fiv3e victims of human trafficking are children”. This connects to the issue of child sexual abuse because they get forced to work at a young age and most of the times the working conditions are bad and children get exploited. Just like child sexual abuse child trafficking can cause psychological problems and health problems. Both issues will be hard to find a solution to the only thing we can do is inform people about so they can have knowledge about the topic.
