Update: Child Violence Survey in Swaziland Spurs Government to Establish Sexual Offenses Unit
The third quarter 2007 E-Brief featured an article on a UNICEF and CDC survey to determine the rates of violence against young people in Swaziland. The results of this survey revealed alarming rates of violence against children, including one in three females between the ages of 13 and 24 suffering from some form of sexual violence during childhood. As a result of this survey a new Sexual Offenses Unit for children and young people has been established. The launch of this unit is the first step towards developing comprehensive care for victims of sexual exploitation, violence, and abuse in Swaziland.
