Childline's counselling services for survivors of child sexual abuse in Zimbabwe: a descriptive studyMasama, Julliet 10 1900 (has links)
This study explored Childline Zimbabwe’s provision of psychosocial support to sexually abused children. This was done by reviewing counsellors’ practices regarding face-to-face counselling, counselling approaches, referrals, follow-ups, case recording and through measuring client satisfaction levels.
A qualitative case study approach was adopted with mixed methods to collect data from counsellors and clients. Data analysis was informed by grounded theory and followed an inductive process of coding and categorising the data into relevant themes. The outcomes of this study showed that referral of clients represents a major strategy of addressing child sexual abuse cases. The engagement of clients in face-to-face counselling stages however remained limited due to difficult work environments and challenges related to individual counsellors’ capacities. This posed questions about Childline’s role as a counselling or referral organisation.
This study contributes to counselling of sexually abused children with information over the counselling interventions necessary in addressing survivors of sexual abuse. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

Exploring the effect of male child sexual abuse on a sample of men in ZimbabweMarufu, Tapiwa Dadirai 03 1900 (has links)
Several studies suggest that sexual assaults are experienced differently by males than by
females. In dominant discourses in which sexual perpetration is associated with males and
sexual victimisation with females, males are expected to practice and exhibit hegemonic
masculinity. This gendered perception of sexual assaults means that female perpetration of
male child sexual abuse often goes unrecognised and that male perpetration is particularly
problematic for male victims. Using a feminist critical paradigm and critical discourse analysis
as a research design, this study explored how a sample of male victims in Zimbabwe
experienced sexual abuse as children and how they were affected by it. The study, further,
explored how the male victims of childhood sexual abuse sought to reconcile the experience
of victimisation with their identity as males. Nine men participated in the study. The sample
was, due to the sensitive nature of the topic, purposively selected using letters describing the
nature of the study and inviting participation. The letters were distributed through diverse
channels, including a newspaper with national coverage. Most participants reported
experiences of female perpetrated abuse. The study found that, in keeping with dominant
discourses of hegemonic masculinity, the participants struggled to construct themselves as
victims. Many of the participants were considerably and negatively affected by having been
sexually abused. Participants utilised a variety of methods to come to terms with the fact that
they were males who had been victimised. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)
