Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a universal problem with grave life-long outcomes. The estimates vary widely depending on the country under study, the definitions used, the type of CSA studied, the extent of coverage, and quality of data. This study intended to assess the magnitude and the issues related to CSA. We searched databases such as PubMed, Google scholar, web (newspaper reports), and government websites. The relevant data was extracted from these sources for gathering evidence on CSA and secondary data analysis was done. The prevalence of CSA was found to be high in India as well as throughout the world. CSA is an extensive problem and even the lowest prevalence includes a huge number of victims. It also has various adverse effects on the psychological, physical, behavioral, and interpersonal well-being of the victim. Hence, stringent measures should be taken for the prevention and control of this hidden public health issue.

“…1 Among the different types of violence, sexual abuse is a constant concern, since it often occurs in the school environment. 2 It is estimated that, annually, about 40 million children and adolescents suffer sexual abuse worldwide. However, this figure may be underestimated due to the circumstances in which these events occur, the dependency relationship between the victims and the abuser, as well as the fear and embarrassment related to difficulties in denouncing this type of violence.…”

Objective: to describe reported sexual violence against children and adolescents at school in Brazil during 2010-2014. Methods: this was a descriptive study of the characteristics of the victims, the event, the aggressor and the health care received by the victims taken from records of compulsory notification of sexual violence against children (0-9 years) and adolescents (10-19 years) at school. We used Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) data. Results: 2,226 reports of sexual violence occurring at school were identified. 1,546 (69.5%) victims were children and 680 (30.5%) were adolescents. The mean age of the victims was 7.4 years and the median was 6.0 years; most victims were female (63.8%) and the majority of the aggressors were male (88.9%). Conclusion: children and adolescents are exposed to sexual violence at school, an institution that should guarantee them protection, healthy development and safety.

“…While evidence on causes are sparse, there is overwhelming facts to show that male intimate partners are the greatest perpetrators and female partners are the victims 45,46 . There were evidence to show that females also inflict pains/pressures on their male counterparts 47,48 . Findings also suggest that the main driving force behind these attitude is traditional norms and cultural beliefs that portray men as being superior to women and therefore can use every means to get whatever they want including sexual intercourse [49][50][51] .…”

At the nexus between reproductive health, population and development is the subject of sexuality which has generated extensive discourse in the past two decades. In this paper, we review Africa sexuality studies published between 1994 and 2015 with the aim of synthesizing the available evidence and suggesting a new research agenda for post-2015. Review findings showed that previous studies covered the five components of sexuality -practices, partners, pleasure/pressure/pain, procreation and power to different extents. Risky sexual behaviour was prevalent from adolescence till older ages. Literature on pleasure, pain, procreation and power reflect the complex diversity driven by traditional norms, gender roles and attitudes across the continent. Knowled ge gaps were highlighted and new agenda suggested for sexuality research. Keywords: sexual behaviour, sexual violence, sexual pleasure/satisfaction, gender roles, socio-cultural norms, sub-Saharan Africa. RésuméAu centre du lien entre la santé de la reproduction, la population et le développement est le sujet de la sexualité qui a suscité un grand discours au cours des deux dernières décennies. Dans cet article, nous passons en revue les études sur la sexualité en Afrique qui ont été publiées entre 1994 et 2015 dans le but de synthétiser les éléments de preuve disponibles et de proposer un nouveau programme de recherche pour l'après-2015. Les résultats de cet examen ont montré que les études précédentes ont porté sur les cinq composantes de la sexualité -des pratiques, des partenaires, le plaisir / la pression / la douleur, la procréation et la puissance à des degrés divers. Le comportement sexuel à risque était très répandu dès l'adolescence jusqu'à un âge plus avancé. La documentation sur le plaisir, la douleur, la procréation et la puissance reflète la diversité complexe soutenue par les normes traditionnelles, les rôles des sexes et les attitudes à travers le continent. Des lacunes dans les connaissances ont été mis es en évidence et un nouvel ordre du jour a été proposé pour la recherche sur la sexualité. (Afr. J Reprod Health 2016; 20[1]: 21-28).
