Perpetrators of Sexual Violence against Minors in Casamance (Senegal)

“…The aggressors were male in 98.23% of cases (n = 111). This is consistent with many other studies in Senegal and beyond [7] [8] with 99.4% -100% male perpetrators. However, many authors agree that women perpetrators of sexual violence are not so uncommon [9] [10].…”
