  • Contribution to the UNHCHR Report on Children Living And/Or Working
    ECPAT International Contribution to the UNHCHR Report on Children living and/or working on the street and the links to sexual exploitation PRODUCED BY ECPAT International End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of children for sexual purposes September 2011 1 ECPAT International Introduction Securing daily basic needs and protection from the hostilities and violence on the street is a perpetual fight, and it often means enduring sexual abuse and exploitation. The spectre of neglect evidenced by the alarmingly high number of children surviving on the street across the world runs counter to the principles enshrined in the CRC, which provide for the protection of children's overall well being, human dignity and mental and physical integrity. Children living and working on the streets are part of the most excluded and at-risk persons in the world, and living on the streets deprive them of a safe environment, comfort and education. The commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) is defined by the ILO Convention 182 as one of the worst forms of child labour and means the sexual abuse of a child in exchange of money or other form of remuneration. This includes child prostitution, pornography, sex tourism and trafficking for sexual purposes. It is commonly accepted that a child cannot consent freely to have sexual intercourse with an adult, including children surviving on the street. Therefore, in such cases, they should be considered victims and afforded the necessary protection. Sexual exploitation on the street takes place, by definition, in public areas, like roads, beaches, markets or parks; usually the sex offender approaches the young victim in order to have a sexual relationship.

  • Incestuous Abuse: Its Long-Term Effects
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 390 010 CG 026 765 AUTHOR Russell, Diana E. H. TITLE Incestuous Abuse: Its Long-Term Effects. SPONS AGENCY Human Sciences Research Council, Pretoria (South Africa). REPORT NO ISBN-0-7969-1651-9 PUB DATE 95 NOTE 111p. PUB TYPE Books (010) Reports Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC05 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Adult Children; *Child Abuse; *Family Violence; Females; Foreign Countries; *Incidence; Interviews; Parent Child Relationship; Qualitative Research; *Sexual Abuse; *Victims of Crime; Violence IDENTIFIERS South Africa ABSTRACT Despite the growing recognition of the prevalence of incest which is challenging-traditional views about the family as a safe haven for children, there is a serious paucity of scientific research on incest in South Africa in the new field of family violence. Almost a century after Sigmund Freud dismissed most women's reports of incest victimization as wishful fantasy, the extent of the damage done by this form of abuse remains controversial in South Africa, with some researchers maintaining that incest victims often suffer no severe effects. This report presents the findings of a qualitative study designed to explore the short- and long-term effects of incestuous abuse experienced by 20 adult women ince:-.t survivors. Although all but one of the in-depth interviews were conducted with women who at the time were residing in Cape Town, the places in which the incestuous abuse had occurred are dispersed throughout South Africa. The purpose of this study is to inform policy discussions on incestuous abuse, violence in South Africa, and violence against women in general. Includes information on prevalence of incestuous abuse, study methodology, characteristics of incestuous abuse, initial effects abuse; and long-terms effects.

  • CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE FACTS Child Sexual Abuse Is a Crime That Happens Across Race, Religion and Class and Has Lifetime Effects
    CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE FACTS Child sexual abuse is a crime that happens across race, religion and class and has lifetime effects. It includes any interaction between a child and an adult (or another child) in which the child is used for the sexual stimulation of the perpetrator or an observeri. Child sexual abuse is often predicated on silencing the victim, and as a result, reporting and disclosure is low. Even without knowing the full scope of child sexual abuse instances, most experts will agree that 500,000 children will be impacted by child sexual abuse per yearii. Annually, YWCA associations provide nearly 980,000 women and children with gender based violence services. At YWCA, we know that not all violence is acknowledged or responded to equally and that some victims go unrecognized altogether. Child sexual abuse survivors are often left out of the mainstream dialogue about gender-based violence altogether despite their heightened risk. YWCA is the largest network of domestic violence service providers in the country and is also dedicated to promoting women’s and children’s health and safety through a variety of local programs, legislative advocacy, and issue education. FACTS • A common myth is that child sexual abuse is perpetrated by strangers and pedophiles. But most people who sexually abuse children are our friends, partners, family members, and community members. About 93 percent of children who are victims of sexual abuse know their abuseriii. Less than 10 percent of sexually abused children are abused by a stranger. • Children are at heightened risk for sexual violence. Nearly 70 percent of all reported sexual assaults occur to children ages 17 and underiv.

INTRODUCTION For most crimes two elemens need to be proven: the actus reus and the mens rea. Generally, the actus reus of an offense consists of a voluntary act that causes social harm.2 In cases where the defendant has an affirma- tive duty to act, however, a defendant’s omission of that duty may serve as a substitute for the voluntary act.3 Affirmative duties to protect are 1 JOHN STUART MILL, ON LIBERTY 11 (Elizabeth Rapaport ed., Hackett Publ’g Co. 1985) (1859). 2 For a thorough discussion of the two elements, see JOSHUA DRESSLER, UNDERSTANDING CRIMINAL LAW 81-142 (3d ed. 2001). These generalizations are based on American law, and differences in the international law, if any, will be discussed within the relevant section.
