Child Sexual Abuse from Child to Child: Prevalence, Impact, and Prevention Strategies

Abstract

Child sexual abuse (CSA) from child to child is a complex and sensitive issue that has received limited attention in research and practice. Despite being less recognized and reported than adult-perpetrated CSA, child-perpetrated CSA can have severe and long-lasting consequences for both victims and perpetrators. This research paper aims to provide an overview of CSA from child to child, including prevalence, impact, risk factors, and prevention strategies. The paper draws on various studies, reports, and surveys conducted worldwide and provides recommendations for effective interventions to prevent and respond to CSA from child to child.
