Abstract
Barriers to and facilitators of self-disclosure by male victims of child sexual abuse
THEME 4: Quality management and enhancement of social services
SUB 4.2 Building professional capacity in social service professions through supervision, support, and development
Oral Presentation
Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a prevalent and enduring social and health problem with global ramifications. Male victims have difficulty disclosing their abuse due to traditional gender norms and associated fears. Understanding the factors that inhibit and facilitate disclosure among male victims of CSA is crucial for enhancing access to gender-specific services. This study employed a rapid review methodology to synthesize the literature on barriers and facilitators of self-disclosure among male victims of CSA. A total of 15 studies met the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The findings underscore the significance of increasing awareness regarding male victims of CSA and emphasize the need to re-evaluate societal norms and challenging prevailing gender expectations. The study highlights that prevailing standards of masculinity can discourage male victims from disclosing their experiences of sexual abuse. The study identifies important practical implications for practice and future research.
