Sexual Exploitation and Abuse 48. The Committee is highly concemed by the lack of reliable data on the situation of child trafficking and sale. The Committee noted from reports that there is high rate of sexual abuse in Zimbabwe whereby females are the main victims and children between 0-5 years of age consisting 25% of the victims. Moreover, the Committee is concerned by the fact that out of 24% reported cases between 2008 and 2010 only 8% are brought before court of law. Henceforth, the Committee recommends the Government of Zimbabwe to urgently undertake an action to gather data on the matter, to set in place child friendly reporting mechanism and to create awareness, to prosecute perpetrators, to establish rehabilitation centers for survivors, and to take all other necessary measures in collaboration with neighboring countries to protect children from the horrific act of trafficking, sexual exploitation and abuse.
