EU

  NGO advocacy exists to pursue expansion.

SOUTH AFRICA

• Severe Sexual Assault Problem

  Africa every year, are attacked by a close
  relative. News From Africa (http//www.newsfrom
  africa.org/newsfromafrica/articles/art_12144.html)
  
• While some 60 of the women raped in South
  Africa are adults, about 15 are children under
  the age of 11, she said. CNN
