Every year, millions of girls and boys around the world face sexual abuse and exploitation. Sexual violence occurs everywhere — in every country and across all segments of society. A child may be subjected to sexual abuse or exploitation at home, at school or in their community. The widespread use of digital technologies can also put children at risk. At least million girls under the age of 20 — about 1 in 10 — have been forced to engage in sex or perform other sexual acts, although the actual figure is likely much higher. Roughly 90 per cent of adolescent girls who report forced sex say that their first perpetrator was someone they knew, usually a boyfriend or a husband. About 1 in 10 girls under the age of 20 have been forced to engage in sex or perform other sexual acts.

How do you talk to your teen about adults who may try to make sexual advances on them? Here are some tips to get a conversation going. There was a news story recently about a popular camp counselor who was arrested for allegedly having sex with underage girls. Reportedly, two teenage girls willingly accompanied this man to his home and joined him for a nude hot-tub soak.

A parent might scream, but the answer is that more likely than not, rational thought was not guiding the decisions of the two young women.
