A Call to Support Teenage Girls in the Face of Disturbing Statistics
In January 2024, the BBC reported a staggering statistic that should serve as a wake-up call for all of us: 52% of child sexual abuse offences involved reports of children (aged 10 to 17) offending against other children, with 14 being the most common age. These harrowing figures shed light on a disturbing reality, urging us to step up and provide the support our teenage girls desperately need. We ALL need to understand the implications of this statistic, its potential causes, and why it’s crucial for society to rally behind our young girls.
