Sexual misconduct is a serious issue that affects lives, families and whole communities. At Eco News Africa we bring you the most recent stories, court rulings and policy changes from across the continent so you can understand what’s happening and why it matters.
Our mission is to spotlight problems that need public attention. When an abuse case is reported, it often reveals gaps in law, workplace safety or education. By publishing these stories we help pressure authorities to act, and we give survivors a platform to be heard.
Every article we post includes verified facts, quotes from experts and links to local support services. We avoid sensationalism – the goal is to inform, not to shock. If you’re looking for clear, factual coverage that cuts through the noise, you’re in the right place.
Here you’ll see a mix of breaking news, investigative pieces and analysis on topics such as:
We also track regional trends, like spikes in cases after major events or shifts in reporting rates when new hotlines are launched. This helps you see the bigger picture beyond isolated incidents.
Reading our coverage can give you practical knowledge: know your rights, learn the steps to report an incident, and find local NGOs that offer legal aid or emotional support. Information is power, especially when dealing with something as sensitive as sexual misconduct.
We update this page regularly, so you’ll always have the freshest information at your fingertips. Bookmark it, share the stories that matter, and join the conversation about making Africa safer for everyone.
