Costa Rica’s Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS) reported 4,406 cases of sexual abuse against minors to the Patronato Nacional de la Infancia (PANI) in a single year. Experts are warning that the actual extent of sexual violence against children and adolescents in Costa Rica could be far greater than the number of reported incidents. These figures highlight a significant issue within Costa Rican society, raising concerns about the vulnerability of young people. The CCSS’s referral of these cases to PANI signifies an effort to address and investigate allegations of abuse. Authorities are emphasizing the need for increased awareness and preventative measures to protect children. There are ongoing discussions about the long-term repercussions and necessary support systems for victims in Costa Rica. Continued monitoring and proactive intervention are crucial to combat this pervasive problem.
