“…Unfortunately, child sexual abuse has psychological and emotional implications on the well-being of child victims. This supports Borg et al (2014), Daray et al (2016) and Widom and Massey (2015) who postulate that child sexual abuse has life-long devastating impact on the well-being of the child victim. Widom and Massey further state that this social ill has serious physical, psychological, social and health consequences.…”

“…However, sexual abuse incidents leave children under serious consequences due to the secrecy of sexual abuse amongst family members. This has been confirmed in several studies that child sexual abuse has serious implications on children (Borg et al, 2014;Daray et al, 2016;Rapholo, 2014;Rapholo, 2018;Widom & Massey, 2015). The implications of child sexual abuse amongst others include; psychological, physical, social and health effects.…”

Child sexual abuse is a global public health issue calling the attention of practitioners, scholars and policy makers to address it. This study argues that children are being sexually abused both by family and non-family members, and such incidents are not always reported and/or disclosed due to various influential factors. This study was aimed at exploring and describing possible influential factors for the non-disclosure of child sexual abuse amongst Bapedi tribe. A qualitative approach with a descriptive phenomenological design was followed. Fifteen caregivers of children were purposively selected in order to pursue the aim of this study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed thematically through the help of Nvivo Software. The findings indicate that due to factors such as fear of the perpetrator, the practice of the spirit of ubuntu, socio-economic status of the family and relationship with the perpetrator, protecting the dignity of the family, fear of victimisation, fear of witchcraft, and cultural beliefs, child sexual abuse in the Bapedi tribe is an issue to be dealt with by families affected and if need be, traditional courts intervene in case the families disagree. It can therefore be concluded that there is a lack of information on the nastiness of child sexual offences against children amongst Bapedi tribe. Therefore, the Bapedi tribe must be empowered to disclose and/or report child sexual abuse and the implications of not doing so.

“…The severity of BDP psychopathology has also been linked to severity of CSA . History of CSA is a well‐recognized risk factor for SB . Wedig et al found CSA as a risk factor for suicide, which increased risk for SA 2 times fold during a two‐year follow‐up (OR: 2.27, 95% CI: 1.69–3.05).…”

Objective To evaluate the incidence of suicidal outcomes and risk factors for short‐ and long‐term recurrence of suicidal behavior (SB) among high‐risk borderline personality disorder (BPD) patients during a 24‐month prospective follow‐up period. Methods A multicenter prospective cohort study was designed to compare data obtained from 136 patients admitted to the emergency department for current suicidal ideation (SI) or a recent suicide attempt (SA). Subjects were clinically evaluated and monitored for a new SA or suicide. Results The incidence of a new SA was 25.63 events/100 persons‐year, and one patient died by suicide. Child sexual abuse (CSA) was the only significant predictor throughout the complete follow‐up period. The absence of prior psychiatric treatment predicts the recurrence of SB in the first 6 months of follow‐up. Patient age, poor psychosocial functioning before hospitalization, age at first SA, and having multiple suicide attempts increased risk of SB recurrence at the long‐term period (24th months). In addition, there was an interaction between CSA and poor psychosocial functioning that increased risk of SB. Conclusion The risk of recurrence was higher during the first 6 months. Risk factors at 6 and 24 months vary. These findings are important for implementing suicide strategies.

“…CSA is a causal agent in many negative adulthood outcomes, ranging from depression [17–19] and posttraumatic stress disorder [20–22], to life-threatening behaviors such as suicide ideation and suicide attempts [23–27]. Women with a history of CSA are also characterized by symptoms of sexual disturbance including fear of men, less sexual interest, and less sexual pleasure [28].…”

BackgroundThe sensitiveness and stigma associated with sexual assault deter many victims from speaking about their experiences. This silence of victims worsens the problem, especially in patriarchal communities like Ethiopia where sex is taboo and girls are encouraged to remain behind curtains.Case presentationThis is the personal testimony of a 25-year-old Amhara woman, a student at an Ethiopian public university, and it is presented in her own words. The data were collected during an in-depth interview on 19 April 2015. The interview was conducted in a private environment and her name was concealed to protect her anonymity. A digital voice recorder was used to audio-tape the interview which was later transcribed and translated verbatim from the local language, Amharic, to English.ConclusionsThe trouble and pain our participant experienced is beyond description. Four themes emerged from her narrative: Incest assault, repeated assault, feelings of guilt and shame, and orphanhood. Incest is both more common and more severe in stepparent families but reported cases are only the very tip of the iceberg and thus may greatly under-represent actual population rates. Therefore, more effort is required to hold the perpetrators accountable and restore the life of the victims.
