Abstract
How do communities that should be able to protect children against sexual abuse perceive this crime and the resultant threat to the mental and physical health of their children? Do they just turn a blind eye? And what can be done about it? Alicia Davids presented findings of an HSRC study on community perceptions of the risk factors of children who are sexually abused at the AIDS Impact Conference in Gabarone in October.-
