In Zambia, a study by the International Labour Organisation in several districts shows the majority of children in prostitution are orphans, as are the majority of street children.
In Uganda, focus group discussions revealed that girls orphaned by AIDS were especially vulnerable to sexual abuse in domestic housework because of the stigma attached to their orphaned status.
Studies from numerous regions have shown that orphaned children have substantially lower levels of education than children who are not orphaned.
In 12 African countries, it is expected that, by 2010, orphans will make up 15 per cent of all children under 15 year old.
“In the past, people used to care for the orphans and loved them, but these days they are so many, and many people have died who could have assisted them, and therefore orphanhood is a common phenomenon, not strange. The few who are alive cannot support them.” A widow in her early fifties, Kenya
