Abstract
There are no prevalence data for childhood sexual abuse among Tanzanian university
students. This investigation addressed this paucity. The nature of sexual abuse and
the contextual issues exacerbating the problem of CSA were explored. The research
questions explored were as follows: 1. At what rate do university students in
Tanzania report experiences of child sexual abuse? 2. What is the nature of child
sexual abuse in Tanzania? 3. Who perpetrates child sexual abuse in Tanzania? 4.
What are the effects/consequences of child sexual abuse in Tanzania? 5. What are the
causes of child sexual abuse in Tanzania? An ecological framework will be
employed in this research. An ecological prism is useful for investigating CSA in
Tanzania because it recognises that individuals are inseparable from the context in
which they live and that this context has significant influences on them.
