نبذة مختصرة : A fundamental right to life is the shielding of children from all sorts of violence. The most fundamental rights of children and adolescents are violated by child abuse. The examination of the CSA problem is difficult and complex. Women and children are the most vulnerable people in Africa when it comes to sexual abuse. This study assessed the associated factors (knowledge, attitude, and parent-child communication) with prevention of child sexual abuse among Ogun State residents in South-West, Nigeria. A survey research design was adopted while 4260 respondents participated in this study. Multi-stage sampling technique was employed for the select sample size from the population of the study. The information collected from the respondents were sorted, coded, and analysed. Descriptive statistics of frequency distribution mean and standard deviation was used to analyse the data and provide answers to the research questions. This study revealed that parents' knowledge, attitudes and communication practices are very key to the prevention of child sexual abuse. It is concluded that a significant education in the community's awareness levels would help identify activities and tactics to curb CSA and contributing to a positive vision for a future where societal norms could shift toward decreased acceptance of CSA.
