Child Sexual Abuse in Black and Minoritised Communities : Improving Legal, Policy and Practical Responses Paperback / softback
Edited by Aisha K. Gill, Hannah Begum
Paperback / softback
Description
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is believed to affect one in eight children worldwide (UNICEF, 2020).
This authoritative book challenges widely-held problematic beliefs about CSA and discusses societal responses and attitudes to survivors.
It brings together multidisciplinary expertise from key researchers and practitioners around the world to better understand CSA in Black and racially minoritised communities and to provide recommendations for improving legal, policy and practical responses.
It provides an international overview, covering theory, practice and policy and action-oriented research to determine how countries can individually and collectively work to prevent CSA with specific, vulnerable groups and in general.
It also examines how intersectional marginalisation affects experiences of, and responses to, CSA.
This essential body of work is thoroughly researched and includes first hand testimony which will deepen the understanding of students, academics, policy-makers and professionals including social workers, service staff and activists working at the frontline.
