A Cross-Sectional Concentrate on Open Mindfulness About Youngster Sexual Maltreatment in Makkah, Saudi Arabia


The objective of this research was to assess the levels of public awareness about child sexual abuse in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among a convenience sample of 680 respondents aged 18 and above, including both males and female, to collect data on their knowledge, attitudes and beliefs about child sexual abuse.

The survey revealed that 72.6% of the respondents thought that child sexual abuse was a significant problem in the city. However, only 57.1% knew the legal definition of child sexual abuse. 

There were significant differences in the levels of awareness between males and females, with females being significantly more knowledgeable (X2=13.3, p=0.001). 

The majority of the respondents (86.1%) believed that parents should be held responsible for any abuse that occurs in their home, but only 44.4% thought that child sexual abuse was a crime that should be reported to the police. Fewer than half of the respondents (46%) were aware of the various signs and symptoms of child sexual abuse.

The results show that there is a need for awareness campaigns about child sexual abuse in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Such campaigns should focus on increasing knowledge about the definition and signs of child sexual abuse; raising awareness about the seriousness of the problem; increasing the public's willingness to report incidents of abuse; and clearly defining the responsibilities of parents and other adults in protecting children from abuse.
