At a press conference held on Monday in Lusaka, the alliance, comprised of six leading child-focused organizations, including Save the Children, World Vision Zambia, Plan International Zambia, Child Fund, SOS Children's Villages International, and Terre des Hommes International Federation, expressed deep concern over the rising cases of child sexual abuse. Reports indicate that children are increasingly being victimized in spaces meant to be safe havens, such as homes, schools, and orphanages.

The Joining Forces Alliance is deeply alarmed by the rising cases of rape and defilement across the country. We are particularly disturbed by the fact that these heinous crimes are being committed by individuals entrusted with the duty to protect children. We commend the Government’s swift action to shut down one facility in Lusaka allegedly perpetrating child abuse and arresting perpetrators.
