A Good Practice Experience on Child Sexual Abuse, Advocacy, Network and Training

Within the framework of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), Save the Children Spain has been developing, since 1997, the Prevention and Raising Awareness Program on Child Sexual Abuse supported by the General Direction for Families and Childhood of the Spanish Ministry of Social Welfare. The programme has been selected by the International Save the Children Alliance as a good practice model to include in its global contribution to the UN study on violence against children. This report also includes a legal and theoretical approach to child sexual abuse as well as national estimates of the incidence of child abuse in Spain.
