A Girl Who Suffered Rape Can Heal-Make A Pledge

Mission

Over the past years, babies, toddlers and generally girls under 12 years have been targeted by HIV positive men who think HIV and AIDS can be cured by blood of virgins. Daily our project partner, Girl Child Network Worldwide received at least ten cases per day of girls raped. It is disturbing to note that there are no rape therapy and counselling programs for girls of this age. The big problem is the huge number of girls growing up with post traumatic disorders and psychological challenges.

Additional Information

Girl Child Network Worldwide through its partner Girl Child Network in Zimbabwe wants to strengthen service provision and set up a comprehensive rape crisis and counselling therapy program that helps girls to go through rape therapy. We have Girls Empowerment Villages where we need trained counselors, medical and educational staff to take girls through therapy as well as provide basic needs in education and medical care. We have piloted a project in art therapy for children which has worked.
