Description:

The report pulls together information from three sources: existing literature in violence against girls; thematic studies on five settings in which African girls experience violence; and retrospective surveys of young girls' experiences of violence. This rich and revealing information has been analyzed to give an overview of the magnitude of the problem, it's cause and consequences, as well as the elements of a possible strategy for the way forward.
