**5. Conclusions**

The prevention of sexual abuse is the responsibility not only of parents, but law enforcement agencies, health professionals and educators. In Hungary the training of professionals in the recognition and reporting of CSA is an urgen<sup>t</sup> matter, the absence of a legal obligation to report needs reconsideration. The results stress the importance of the need for a public awareness campaign regarding the vulnerability of children of ages to sexual victimization with a focus on the development of primary prevention programs. Professionals in health care, child protection, mental health and law enforcement would all benefit from efforts to raise their awareness of child sexual abuse and what they can do in their professional role to address abuse when suspected.
