Abstract

This research sought out to study child sexual abuse within the family. It aimed to analyze the role of the State in protecting children and teenagers that are victims. An analysis of the characteristics of the topic in question was carried out, using secondary sources, such as books and articles. Furthermore, we sought to understand the aspects that make it difficult to recognize the cases. Finally, an analysis of the measures taken by the State in response to the cases was carried out. It was highlighted that the State plays a crucial role alongside the family and society in the search for justice and the protection of victims, being a complex challenge, which requires continuous efforts in order to improve the response and prevent future cases.
