This paper aims to analyze the social factors of the emergence of sexual violence in Abengourou. In short, it is a question of understanding the process of social construction of sexual violence as a social problem in Abengourou.

The populations of the Indenie Djuablin (Abengourou) have a clear knowledge of the violence in general and on the sexual violence against the children in a specific way. There is indeed a mechanism for denouncing and reporting violence against children in the town of Abengourou. Keywords: social construction, Sexual Violence, Children
