Title: Preventing Sexual Abuse in Children: A Significant Contributor to CSEC Risk
Workshop Description: Studies show that between 70% and 90% of youth who have experienced CSEC also have a history of childhood sexual abuse. Researchers have noted that sexual abuse may be a particularly strong form of childhood trauma that functions as a “gateway” trauma, initiating increased risk to other forms of victimization. Dr. Walker-Descartes will discuss the magnitude of the problem, how sexual abuse in children increases a child’s vulnerability to sex trafficking, and what we can do to prevent it. The first hour of this workshop will be a PowerPoint presentation, followed by a thirty-minute Q&A session.
Speaker Bio: Dr. Walker-Descartes has dual-board certifications in General Pediatrics and Child Abuse Pediatrics, which she practices in her clinical role in the Department of Pediatrics at Maimonides, where she also serves as an administrator. Dr. Walker-Descartes has published several articles in the International Journal of Child Abuse and Neglect as well as book chapters focused on the various forms of child maltreatment.
