| dc.description.abstract | This study is designed to assess the performance of the Nigerian film industry in creating awareness on the issue of child sexual abuse. One of the dimensions examined was to identify the category of children who mostly fall victim to sexual abuse. The study revealed that, the problem of child sexual abuse which is mostly targeted at the female girl child has become so endemic in Nigeria, and consequently making the ungodly act become almost uncontrollable. Findings revealed that most of the children who fall victim to the heartless perpetrators of the ungodly act, fall within the promising age-bracket of six and fifteen. Furthermore, the study established that weak legal sanctions for sexual violence is one of the common principal factors that lead to the perpetration of this act. The study therefore, concluded that despite the fact that the rate of child sexual abuse in Nigerian is increasing tremendously, the Nigerian film industry in conjunction with law enforcement agencies are competent enough to fight the ugly situation; bridge the increase or eradicate it entirely from Nigeria. The study also recommended government to support the Nigerian film industry in the campaign against child sexual abuse. | en_US |
