Keywords: Sexual Abuse; Children; Hospital; Kamsar Introduction Child abuse is any form of physical and psychological mistreatment, sexual abuse, neglect and exploitation that results in actual or potential harm to the health, development or dignity of the child. There are four types of abuse: neglect, physical abuse, psychological abuse and sexual abuse [1]. Child sexual abuse remains an ongoing threat to the well-being of children who may be victimized, to the freedom of individuals who may engage in abusive behavior, and to the reputations and livelihoods of organizations in which the abuse could occur [2]. The WHO defines sexual violence as any sexual act, attempt to obtain a sexual act, comments or DOI: 10.31080/ASMS.2022.06.1408 Citation: Condé Ibrahima., et al. “Epidemiological, Clinical and Therapeutic Aspects of Sexual Abuse in Children and Adolescents at KAMSAR Hospital, Guinea".
