Abstract

The research aimed to identify the characteristics of child sexual abuse, its contributing factors, and active social intervention. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were applied in the research. The research involved the questionnaires, conducted in-depth interviews and also organized focused group discussions in the five cities. The research uncovered that child on child sexual abuse was perceived not only as normal sex but also as a sexual assault by children to other children. There were some factors that significantly contributed to this such as childhood exposure to pornography, the influence of peers, the lack of the campaign for safe internet access as well as the lack of parents’ and teachers’ knowledge to protect children from the negative effects of the internet. Therefore, it was recommended to develop formal and informal education models to reduce children’s time accessing pornographic and harmful websites which did not support their capacity and character building, develop offline or gadget-based games and make a policy on multi-system therapy, an intensive therapy system which targets not only child sex offenders but also their peers, parents, teachers (schools), neighbors and communities. Moreover, it was also recommended to improve the coordination between law enforcement agencies and rehabilitation centers
