Sexual violence against children in the Carib underreported – UNICEF - Caribbean - Latest News - Jamaica Gleaner

Sexual Violence Against Children In The Carib Underreported – UNICEF
Published: Saturday May 19, 2012 | 7:33 pm

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), says sexual violence against children in the Caribbean is greatly underreported and oftentimes culturally sanctioned. 

In a report issued at the UN today, UNICEF said child sexual abuse in the region is shrouded in secrecy and aided by shame. 

The report points to a study conducted in Jamaica which indicates that men often believe that they have a right to engage in sex with girls under their care.
