Human rights activists are reporting that tens of thousands of children are being sexually abused in Zimbabwe in what is being called a growing epidemic. A single clinic in the capital, Harare, says it has treated nearly 30,000 girls and boys who were abused in the past four years ‑ thats an average of 20 per day.

  • fuck the fact of colour! Robert Mugabe should step down and be dealt with by God................ i love my country, and it hurts to hear this, i also have an overwhelming feeling that i HAVE TO HELP, but im 15 and clueless on how to contribute! Gosh i feel like i could have somehow stopped this from happening!

  • Africa is the child rape capital of the world, yet ignorant black supremacists morons exclusively blame white guys for this type of crime! Whats a bunch or hypocritical malcontents!

  • must be a bunch of rich white guys on the way home from the country club!!!!

  • cont.. The halting of such practices as rape and paedophilia are ever more difficult in a economic and social climate like Zim - as parents are unable to provide/die (no: of AIDS orphans is high), leave behind children to look for work (sometimes in other countries), where rape is used as a weapon/intimidation in political disputes etc. What makes it even more sad is it seems it is going to be like this for quite some time. cont..

  • The first difficult task in combating such abuses is to get the population to accept that such practices ARE happening. It is difficult in Africa to come out publicly with such revelations, for fear it may taint the peoples reputation e.g. It is common for a Zimbo to say something like - we don't do that in our culture - refering to things like homosexuality, rape and paedophilia. cont..

  • Gee whiz, Seems like it IS forsaken. I say: go save those kids !

    Many in our country now have the wealth and degrees to travel, adopt children, etc. Big homes, Gov jobs, etc. To you I cry- GO save those kids.

  • forsake that place
