    A new report has revealed a disturbing trend in the fight against child sexual abuse, identifying cases of sodomy against boys as one of the leading forms of sexual violence against children in the country for the first time. The findings also show that young girls remain highly vulnerable, with those aged between six and eleven years identified as the most at risk of sexual abuse. As concern grows over the rising threat to children, rights advocates are calling for swift justice, urging the fast-tracking of child abuse cases and an end to out-of-court settlements, which they say shield perpetrators from accountability.
