KCLAW Conducts "Child Sexual Abuse" Workshop 14 May 2007
In April 2006 there were forty-six reported cases at the Thika District Hospital which has the only rape counselling centre in Thika. Twenty-two were under the age of eighteen; twenty-four were under the age of twelve. Over that past year (2006) at least one case of child sexual abuse was reported every other day at the Thika Police Station. And unfortunately this is only the tip of the iceberg. Multiples of those numbers are never reported, particularly where the abuser is someone responsible for protecting the child - parents, relatives, maids, houseboys etc. And children engaged in child labour, street children and children in domestic labour and institutions are particularly vulnerable to sexual exploitation.
