Child sex abuse is a grave violation of a child's rights and an abhorrent act that leaves lasting psychological, emotional, and physical scars. It comprises any sexual activity with a minor, including exploitation, molestation, and inappropriate touching or exposure to sexual materials. Media representations of child sexual abuse play a crucial role in raising awareness and promoting understanding of this sensitive issue. By highlighting survivor stories with sensitivity and accuracy, media can nurture empathy and advocacy for victims. Moreover, responsible reporting can prompt discussions on societal attitudes and policies that protect children. The book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of media coverage of child sex abuse and its impact. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. It aims to serve as a resource guide for students and experts alike and contribute to the growth of the discipline.
