- Description
- This study seeks to provide an in-depth description of the phenomenon of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) and will be an addition to the existing body of knowledge. CSA is a complex phenomenon and despite it being a criminal act, incidences continue to increase globally. It has become a huge problem all over the world and South Africa is one of the leading countries with a higher prevalence. To gain understanding of this phenomenon and its prevalence in South Africa, a review of literature and analysis of the causes, types, diversity, and its effects were conducted. The analysis further provided a comprehensive account on how the adolescent survivor was affected by the CSA experiences and how she recovered from its effects. One participant was selected for the study and the purposive sampling technique was used for the process. The study made use of the General Systems Theory but narrowed it to the Family Systems Theory also known as the Bowen Family Systems Theory (BFST) as its theoretical framework. Systems theory was explored with a focus on families and communities and how each one contributes to the problem of CSA. The impacts of CSA on the survivor consisted of anger, poor scholastic performance marred future and broken relationships.
