Child sexual abuse
Child sexual abuse is secretly ingested deep into many kids, damaging their self-worth and leaving them in a state of confusion. This urgent social menace calls for the intervention of social workers and all family stakeholders. To accomplish this, there is a need to introduce sex education to children and teach them to resist abuse if it occurs.

Sex education has been the subject of debate for so long that many adults still find it challenging to have conversations about sexuality. In support of this, Balarabe noted that patriarchal and complicated countries, where culture and religion have an impact on the legal system, are where sex education rights are most hotly debated. In a recent article, the New York Times reported that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating whether the Obama administration violated the law by failing to investigate itself. As a result of the improper dissemination of sexual knowledge, the youngsters have been exposed to infections, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, damaged identities, and low self-esteem. There have been cases of incest and lots of social vices as a result.

The child who is abused sexually, being innocent, is usually enticed with little things like biscuits, sweets, touching, and fondling as though the perpetrator has his or her interest at heart. There are underlying factors that promote child sexual abuse. They include: the use of male house help to take care of female kids; parents abandoning the raising of their kids entirely to their house helpers; a loss of moral values among parents; exposing kids to mobile phones and pornographic movies anmongmany others.
