COMMENT:

Schools have a great influence when it comes to preventing sexual abuse of minors, since they have different resources at their disposal to prevent said abuse, such as prevention programs. After the study on the effectiveness of the “Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse” program at the University of Salamanca (Spain), the results indicate that this has a very positive and significant impact for minors, since it increases their knowledge, awareness and perception about this type of risk, and in turn improves their own response capacity and skills to deal with a possible situation of sexual abuse.
