UNICEF: Madagascar Sexual Violence
To tackle this violence head-on, UNICEF, working with the government and partners, has helped to establish 11 child protection teams throughout Madagascar. The teams consist of judges, doctors, teachers and even children themselves. The effort has led to double the number of cases being reported to the police in some areas. As part of the outreach initiative, judges are sensitized to deal with scared children, coaxing them to talk and counselling them to heal. Student groups and youth parliamentarians are also organized to act as the eyes and ears of the community. They meet regularly and perform at schools to make sure children know their rights and report abuse to the authorities.
