OBJECTIVE: As child sexual abuse haunts South African communities, this paper aims to present
the nature of empowerment services rendered by the non-profit sector for child sexual abuse
in the Western Cape, South Africa. METHODS: A qualitative research approach was applied
to interview 20 participants at six non-profit organisations (NPOs) who render empowerment
services in communities haunted by child sexual abuse. OUTCOMES: Findings of the study
indicate that participants execute an empowerment approach by means of a process which entails
building relationships, determining goals, identifying strengths, developing action plans, executing
plans, attaining goals and ending relationships. The findings also indicate that sexually abused
children in South African communities are empowered with micro level intervention to deal with
the consequences of their abuse. SOCIAL WORK IMPLICATIONS: Service providers should
be equipped to empower sexually abused children with meso and macro level intervention in
addition to micro level intervention.
