Show Notes
A groundbreaking study from Edinburgh reveals a staggering truth: one in five women and one in six men worldwide experienced childhood sexual violence. Researchers analyzed data from over 1,400 studies across 147 countries, estimating that 130 million children were affected in 2024 alone. The study, published in a top journal, defines sexual violence as unwanted sexual acts causing harm or pain to children. Experts warn of a global health crisis, emphasizing the need for governments to implement prevention plans, improve data collection, and hold perpetrators accountable. While girls face higher rates in most regions, Kenyas efforts have shown promising results, reducing violence against girls by 9% between 2010 and 2019. The path forward involves leveraging public health strategies, education, and action to protect every child.
