This peer-reviewed article in Child Abuse Review by Dr Mark Kavenagh and Dr Kati Maternowska analyses data from large-scale population surveys in 20 global South countries to understand why young people disclose child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA), or more importatnly, why they don’t. For example, only 1-10% of children in countries like Haiti, Honduras, and Uganda received services after disclosing sexual violence. That doesn’t provide great motivation to speak about such a sensitive and difficult topic.
