Childhood sexual abuse

Present and future of prevention and intervention

The World Health Organization (WHO) indicates that up to one billion children between the ages of 2 and 17 worldwide have been victims of physical, sexual, emotional abuse, or neglect (WHO, 2021). Of all these forms of maltreatment, sexual abuse is one of the most serious forms of violence, with severe physical and emotional consequences for the children and adolescents who experience it. The gravity of this phenomenon demands specialized attention in all its dimensions (health, social, and legal) and increased awareness throughout the community for prevention and early detection.
