According to Tears foundation, 50% of South Africa’s children will be abused before the age of 18. While it is difficult to imagine, if never experienced, the intense impact of trauma, people are experiencing trauma through physical, sexual, emotional and mental abuse and violence daily. Diepsloot Youth Project are faced with the surge of more and more reported cases being that of violations against minors. Where a child is faced with developmental challenges and milestones to reach; pressure to navigate and find their identity in a world expecting more from them than they can give; and where children have less time to do what is innate to their nature (play, make mistakes, explore and be happy), it has now become a norm that these same children, the future of Diepsloot Youth Project nation, are more prone to being abused and violated more than any other age group within Diepsloot Youth Project country.
