Gender Inequality in Africa - Just Like My Child

http://www.justlikemychild.com/ Did you know? In Uganda, where Just Like My Child is working, rape is the leading reported form of abuse against the girl child, 86.9 percent of rape victims in Uganda are between the ages of 9 and 17, Each year, millions of girls become mothers before age 18, 75 percent of 15 to 24 year olds living with HIV in Africa are female.
We passionately believe in protecting the rights of children. That’s why Just Like My Child is investing in one of the most effective ways to create a shift at the grass roots level – life skills and mentoring training for hundreds of girls who are now bold enough to look you in the eye, strong enough to state their rights, free enough to rise to their full potential as they lead their country forward.
