Statistics

Statistics

 In this week’s blog I am going to being talking more about statistics, I know in my introduction I've already discussed a few statistic but that was only to start to catch people’s attention. Now that I have a few people that have already read my blog. I would like to show them that the numbers are even bigger than they thought. I'm going to talk primarily about the countries with the highest abuse rates and the countries with the lowest etc...

In many countries across the world children are being abused in many different ways every few minutes. South Africa is at the top of the list with the highest abuse rates, every 3 minutes an African child is abused in some sort of way. The second country is India over 48,000 abuse cases were recorded in 2011, keep in mind that not every case is reported. Zimbabwe is placed third, over 30,000 boys and girls were treated at clinics after their heart wrenching experience. The United Kingdom is the next runner up because every 1 in 200 adults is a pedophile. The country with the fifth highest rates of abuse is the United States, 28% of teens between the age of 14 and 17 have been sexually victimized in their lifetime.

Indonesia has the lowest abuse rates in people of all ages, Second is Serbia followed by the UAE ( United Arab Emirates), Japan and lastly Canada. The sexual abuse statistics were at its highest in 1979, every 3 in 1000 people were sexually abused. I'm glad to announce that the numbers have dropped tremendously since then at a total of 0.5 people out of every thousand. 

In my opinion, the reason this happens a lot more than expected is because people are afraid to stand up once they're being abused. If you know of someone who has been abused or are still being abused in any sort of way and are afraid to speak up or don't want to do it alone, you can visit Kids Help Phone here's the link to their website http://www.kidshelpphone.ca/Teens/Home.aspx.
 I hope you've all learnt something and thank you for reading.
