Abstract

This is a report into a three-year project that sought to develop an approach to preventing child sexual abuse in a Somali community in London. This is not a report on the Somali community per se. Neither is it a report about female genital mutilation, the practice of removing part or all of the female external genitalia, which some Somali girls and women are subject to (Morison et al, 2004). Furthermore, this is not a report about an evaluation of an evidencebased intervention. The emphasis in this report is a description of what has been learned about trying to develop an approach to preventing child sexual abuse with members of a particular community. The report is principally intended for audiences who are interested in developing preventative approaches.
