That would be like trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon. If you want to stop stuff like that from happening, you need to address the reason why these men are doing these things. Uneducated africans are still very superstitious and many still believe in the power of witchdoctors. As you probably know, Africa has a huge problem with AIDS. In Zimbabwe for example, over 50% of the popuplation is HIV+. Anyways. For a long time, witchdocots have spread the idea that having sex with a virgin will cure HIV. As a result, there are not many 3 year old virgins in some areas of Africa.
So if you'd really want to help in that area, you'd be better off donating money to charities that are trying to educate Africans about the reality of HIV. That will make a real difference.
Anyways, i'd donate to a charity that deals with sexually abused children. There are so many issues involved that people don't even think about unless they actually talk to a victim, and it's easy to understand why it fucks them up for the rest of their lives if they don't get the help they need. They suffer with tremendous feelings of guilt and fear. Hell, most shrinks don't even get into these issues with abused kids.
Also, kids that get help are way less likely to repeat the cycle. It sickens me that someone that was sexually abused by their father might go on to sexually abuse their own chlidren, but it sickens me even more to know that it could have been prevented had the person gotten the help they needed when they were young.
