dc.description.abstractChild sexual abuse is an issue that has significant consequences for both the health of the individual and society, but it is not desired to be revealed and is often repressed. The cases reported to the judicial authorities are just the tip of the iceberg. This study aims to analyze the effect of “stigmatizing the victim”, which has an important role in keeping child sexual abuse concealed. To find the social risk factors of child sexual abuse and to determine the effect of sexual stigma on the victim, the forensic case files of children who were subject to sexual abuse and then referred to the Child Monitoring Center in Malatya between 2015 and 2019, were investigated. All files of 678 children who were registered as victims of sexual abuse between those years were analyzed using content analysis technique. As a result of the research, it was found that the confrontation of the victim children with sexual stigma caused the sexual abuse cases to remain concealed. Along with stigmatization, factors, such as dishonor and shame, fear of staying out of gender values, pressure from social environment and patriarchal family, being threatened, incest relationships, worrying about the reputation of the victim and her/his family are effective in concealment of the sexual abuse.
