Includes bibliographical references. / Child sexual abuse is a prevalent problem in South Africa. There are reports of child sexual abuse of very young children in the media on an almost daily basis. South African Police Services reports show that children are victims in almost 50 of all reported cases of indecent assault and rape. It is well reported that only a fraction of sexual offences are ever reported as this is often an illicit and secret activity. South Africa has many factors which contribute to this high prevalence and incidence of child sexual abuse. These factors include poverty as well as the legacy of Apartheid with its unequal distribution of power, wealth and the breakdown of family structures, as well as South Africa's sexist, patriarchal and violent culture.
