Abstract

Statistics in Colombia reflect an escalated growth of Child Sexual Abuse (ASI, for its Spanish acronym) in recent years, which turn it into an alarming public health problem that calls on all institutions responsible for the regulation, prosecution, health care (physical and psychological) and pedagogy, and even the improvement of the forms of prevention, promotion, evaluation and monitoring of the cases. This is due to the fact that the strategies used to deal with this type of crime have not shown any diligence and effectiveness in their processes.
