dc.description.abstractThe young women in the study were clear that sex with older men was about material gain. Some said they felt they had no choice. Older men reported sexual gratification as a key motivator. Persuading young girls not to engage sexually with older men will be difficult unless prevention programmes also target older men. Prevention programmes designed simply to increase knowledge of the risks of inter-generational sex are unlikely to be effective. More promising approaches might include making older men aware of the ridicule they attract from the young women, and helping young women to find alternative ways of financial support.en
