abuse occurs in rural, urban, and<br />

suburban areas and among all ethnic,<br />

racial, and socio-economic groups.<br />

REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROBLEM<br />

Sexual abuse and/or rape can impact an<br />

adolescent’s <strong>reproductive</strong> <strong>health</strong><br />

• Lacerations and internal injuries.<br />

• Unwanted pregnancy and its<br />

consequences (unsafe abortion, bad<br />

pregnancy outcomes, etc.).<br />

MIND MAPPING (15 MIN.)<br />

The trainer should:<br />

• Write “sexual abuse” on the flipchart.<br />

• Explain that this is a mind mapping<br />

exercise. The point is to list direct and<br />

indirect consequences of sexual<br />

abuse and to indicate the<br />

relationships between them in order<br />

to create a tree.<br />
