Often <strong>adolescents</strong> are abused by<br />
someone they know and trust, although<br />
boys are more likely than girls to be<br />
abused outside of the family. Sexual<br />
abuse occurs in rural, urban, and<br />
suburban areas and among all ethnic,<br />
racial, and socio-economic groups.<br />
WHY IS SEXUAL ABUSE A<br />
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROBLEM<br />
Sexual abuse and/or rape can impact an<br />
adolescent’s <strong>reproductive</strong> <strong>health</strong><br />
through:<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 />
