Faced consistent challenges in passing legislation.

Legislation should pass soon. Really!

European databases continue to grow slowly under existing legislative authority.

Unlike other regions of the world, European countries are not pursuing legislative expansion to increase database size. Little government or NGO advocacy exists to pursue expansion.

SOUTH AFRICA

Severe Sexual Assault Problem “South Africa records the highest rates of rape in the world.

One woman is raped every 17 seconds, child rights groups say. Like a third of the 200,000 children who are raped in South Africa every year, are attacked by a close relative.” – News From Africa (http://www.newsfromafrica.org/newsfromafrica/articles/art_12144.html)

“While some 60% of the women raped in South Africa are adults, about 15% are children under the age of 11, she said.” – CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/24/world/africa/south-africa-child-murder-case/index.html)
