I sat down to think about the rate at which *Child Molestation* has become rampant this days

I couldn’t just comprehend it

It is so disheartening and heartbreaking

Research has it that :

*1 in every 4 girls* in Nigeria had been exposed to sexual violence before age 18

*1 in every 10 boys* in Nigeria had been exposed to sexual violence before age 18

*6 in every 10 children* in Nigeria had been exposed to sexual abuse before age 18

*96%* of people who sexually abuse children are male

*What could be the causes of this sudden increase in the rate of child Molestation*

1. *MISHANDLING OF RAPE CASES*
2. *PEER GROUP INFLUENCE*
3. *MYTHS ABOUT SEX*
4. *INFLUENCE OF INDESCENT DRESSING*

*What could be the possible solutions to this*
1. *Survivors of sexual molestation should be helped*
2. *Public enlightenment should be made*
3. *Implementation and enforcement of laws and policies against sexual molestation*
