Tragic situation as girls affected by violence in Cabo Delgado now face sexual exploitation
World Vision is concerned by reports that girls as young as 14 years old are being forced into selling their bodies for food after they fled their homes following the escalation of insurgency attacks in the northern province of Cabo Delgado, in Mozambique. Some have reported being pressurised to have unprotected sex, and even threatened with violence if they did not give in to unscrupulous men looking for sexual gratification in exchange for money.
