The article below is centered around the town of Caia, where I was posted for three months in Mozambique in 2007. Save the Children had an excellent awareness program, showing a very proactive approach to child protection.
Despite their best efforts "prosti-tots" still frequented all the bars in town, and sexual relations with bridge workers was still a continual issue. However, kudos to the work of SC, not only in increasing awareness and gaining local support, but in preparing a valuable "Lessons learned" for the government of Mozambique and other developing economies.
