Commercial Sexual Exploitation: A Consequence of Child Sexual Abuse

Abstract [en]

This thesis investigates the link between child sexual abuse (SCA) and subsequent commecial sexual exploitation (CSE), focusing on the patterns of sexual revictimization among survivors. Utilizing feminist theory, particularly the feminist theory of power and feminist trauma theory, the study analyzes how patriachal structures and power dynamics contribute to the persistance of sexual violence. The methodology includes a survey assessing experiences of CSA and CSE, categorizing abuse types and perpetratiors, and examining revicitmization patterns. Results indicate a significant correlation between early CSA and later CSE, with distinct patterns emerging based on the type of abuse and perpetraitor characteristics. The study highligts critical knowledge gaps, including the need for intersectional analysis and longitudinal research. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of addressing systemic factors, improving interventions, and advocating for policy reforms to better support survivors and prevent further exploitation.
