The negative issues facing young people in Zambia is rising. Nearly 30% of girls aged 15-19 have been pregnant. 64% of victims of human trafficking recorded in Africa are children. 8% of children aged 5-14 are working and not in school. Girls do not know how to handle menstruation and miss, on average, at least 36 days of school each year. Sexual assault most common in those aged 11-15. Most perpetrators are known to the victims and take place in their home
