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.
儿童性虐待（CSA）是一个全球性问题，会带来严重的终身后果。根据所研究的国家、使用的定义、所研究的CSA类型、覆盖范围和数据质量的不同，估计数字差异很大。本研究旨在评估CSA的规模及相关问题。我们搜索了诸如PubMed、谷歌学术、网络（报纸报道）和政府网站等数据库。从这些来源提取了相关数据以收集有关CSA的证据，并进行了二次数据分析。结果发现，CSA在印度以及全世界的患病率都很高。CSA是一个广泛存在的问题，即使是最低的患病率也涉及大量受害者。它还会对受害者的心理、身体、行为和人际关系幸福产生各种不利影响。因此，应采取严格措施预防和控制这一隐蔽的公共卫生问题。
