The specific objectives of the conference are to: (a) identify the causes, nature and magnitude of child sexual abuse in Africa; (b) create a forum to identify strategies to deal with sexual violence against children; (c) provide an opportunity to share information and experiences with a view to enhancing partnership and networking.
Call for papers:
The conference organisers are calling for paper abstracts that address innovative prevention, intervention, and treatment of sexual abuse; networking or collaborative efforts, and research studies on the topic.
All papers will be peer-reviewed by an international panel and will be expected to address multi-cultural work, applicability to African children and prevention implications. Please send a one page abstract to regional@anppcan.org, with contact information of all presenters. Indicate if you prefer to present at a workshop, panel, or make poster presentation.
