Sexual Violence Against Children

Sexual violence against children involves any sexual activity forced or pressured onto a child by an adult or peer. It includes acts such as molestation, exploitation, and abuse, often outside their understanding or ability to consent. This trauma can have lifelong physical, emotional, and psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, and trust issues. Children are vulnerable due to their innocence and inability to protect themselves, making prevention, awareness, and intervention crucial to safeguard their well-being and ensure justice.
