Child Sex Abuse

Child sex abuse is any sexual act that is committed against a child, or any sexual act that a child is forced or coerced into committing. Child sexual abuse can take many forms, including fondling, oral sex, and penetration. It can also include non-contact acts, such as exposing a child to sexual material or engaging in sexual activity in front of a child. Child sexual abuse is a global problem, and it can have serious and long-term consequences for the physical, emotional, and mental health of children. Governments and organizations around the world are working to prevent child sexual abuse and protect the rights of children.
