This article studies the cinematic construction of child sexual abuse and seeks to answer the question of how children's and Young Adults’ Cinema represents child sexual abuse and what sight it shapes about this social problem.

In this study, the construction of child sexual abuse has been analyzed in the films "Baduk", "Don", "Oil Children", "The Girl in the Sneakers", "I'm Taraneh, 15", "Requiem of Snow", "The Disgraced", "Girls", "The Little Sparrows". Mirzoeff's "visual culture" theory has been used to analyze the cinematic construction of child sexual abuse, and the qualitative content analysis method has been used to analyze the films.

The findings of this study show that children's and Young Adults’ cinema includes a gendered interpretation and simplistic view of aggressive behaviors, such as rape and sexual exploitation of girls, which reinforces limited and stereotypical views of the subject. But this perspective challenges cultural beliefs about child marriage and can act as a factor in changing common beliefs about child marriage.
