Ms Lois Joan Engelbrecht

Dr Lois Engelbrecht was born and brought up in India. After studying in the United States, she moved to Asia in 1985 and worked as a freelance social worker focussing on child sexual abuse and community organisation. She founded the Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Sexual Abuse in Manila in 1995 and still sits on its Board of Trustees. She now lives in Ghana, but continues to develop training programmes and materials. Several Asian and Middle Eastern cities have invited her to help replicate the CPTCSA, and most of her energy continues to be focussed on the agency.
