SEAH

The first intervention area of CHADET was located in and around the largest commercial center, locally known as ‘Merkato’ in the city of Addis Ababa where there are large numbers of street and working children. Even if there is an opportunity for many people, especially the poor, to earn a living through engaging in petty trading, selling of house made drinks, causal labour, selling of fried cereals, etc., on the other hand, the prevailing conditions in the area exposes vulnerable children and young people to different forms of violence, including Sexual Exploitation Abuse and Harassment (SEAH). Apart from the project that it implemented for the prevention and rehabilitation of children exposed to sexual abuse and exploitation, CHADET has led and successfully implemented a Multi-Sectoral Project for the Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation of Sexually Abused and exploited Children in Addis Ketema Sub-City of Addis Ababa.
