Abstract
Child Sexual Abuse: Indicative of social inequality and a failure to translate policy into practice
THEME 3: Strategies toward the normative development of society
SUB 3.1 Promoting egalitarianism in intimate and other relationships as responses to Gender-based violence and femicide
Oral Presentation
Child sexual abuse in South Africa is astronomical, although the SAPS 2019/2020 statistics shows a decrease in the number of reported cases, an approximately 60 children succumb to abuse daily.
Despite the array of policy and legislative frameworks aimed at protecting children and promoting an equal society in which children’s rights are recognised as human rights, child sexual abuse remains amongst the highest in the world. This paper thus reports on the views of service providers regarding the policy and legislative frameworks guiding service provision to sexually abused children. The findings highlight the disjuncture between macro and micro level practice from an ecological perspective as policy and legislation are far removed for the realities of practice and insufficient resources impede service delivery.
Recommendations include addressing the disjunction between macro level practice and direct service provision at micro and messo levels and calling for improved collaborations between service providers.
