Despite widespread recognition of child sexual abuse as a serious problem in sub-Saharan Africa, few far-reaching programmatic interventions addressing child sexual abuse in this setting are currently available, and those interventions that do exist tend to focus on response rather than prevention. The Families Matter! Program is an evidence-based intervention for parents and caregivers of 9- to 12-year-olds in sub-Saharan African countries which promotes positive parenting practices and effective parent-child communication about sex-related issues. This article describes the enhancement of a new Families Matter! Program session on child sexual abuse, drawing on authentic narratives contributed by young people to the Global Dialogues from Africa youth scriptwriting competitions. Experiences are shared with a view to informing the development of interventions addressing child sexual abuse in sub-Saharan Africa.
尽管人们普遍认识到儿童性虐待是撒哈拉以南非洲地区的一个严重问题,但目前在这种情况下,针对儿童性虐待的具有深远影响的方案性干预措施很少,而且现有的那些干预措施往往侧重于应对而非预防。“家庭至关重要!”项目是一项针对撒哈拉以南非洲国家9至12岁儿童的父母和照料者的循证干预措施,该项目促进积极的育儿做法以及就与性相关的问题进行有效的亲子沟通。本文介绍了一个关于儿童性虐待的新的“家庭至关重要!”项目环节的强化情况,该环节借鉴了年轻人在非洲青年编剧比赛全球对话中提供的真实故事。分享这些经历是为了为撒哈拉以南非洲地区针对儿童性虐待的干预措施的制定提供信息。
