Abstract

Sexual abuse on early children and its related issues such as school education, family education, and social propaganda have always been a concern and concern for various countries. "Convention on the Rights of the Child", adopted by the United Nations in 1989, clearly stated that "States parties should take all appropriate national, bilateral and multilateral measures" to prevent early children from being subjected to sexual abuse. However, due to various factors in China, children's sexual abuse in China has some commonalities as well as some characteristics. Therefore, this article is based on the "Convention on the Rights of the Child" and adopts a literature review method to comprehensively analyze the current situation of sexual abuse among children in China, including education and law. The following conclusion is drawn: Sexual abuse will cause significant physical and mental harm to early children; China's legislation on child sexual abuse is both comprehensive and controversial; Although there has been progress in parents and teachers' attitudes towards child sexual abuse, there is still room for improvement; Among the targets of child sexual abuse, girls are higher than boys, and left behind children are significantly higher than non left-behind children.
