Nearly 30 million Chinese children could have been victims of sexual assault, researchers say
An estimated 2.7 million children in China may have been raped, according to researchers investigating child sexual assault.



Shang Xiaoyuan, from Beijing Normal University’s Family and Child Research Centre, said studies by various researchers indicated that about 8-12 per cent of China’s 270 million minors faced some form of sexual assault, including about 1 per cent who were sexually penetrated, news portal Caixin.com reported on Friday as China prepares to mark Children’s Day on Sunday.



“If the research is accurate, that means nearly 30 million Chinese children could have been victims of sexual assault, and among them, 2.7 million faced the worst kind,” Shang was quoted as telling a child protection forum in Zhengzhou, Henan province, this week.



Sun Xuemei, co-founder of girls welfare group the Beijing All In One Foundation, said very few cases of child sexual assault made it to court. Between 2015 and 2018, Chinese courts heard 11,519 cases involving allegations of child molestation.

“Marrying my rapist?!” The cultural trauma among Chinese rape survivors

Tsun-Yin Luo

Gender & Society 14 (4), 581-597, 2000

This study conceptualizes rape trauma as embedded in the cultural construction of rape and consequently manifested in the psychological process of individual rape survivors. The author conducted indepth interviews with 35 female rape survivors in Taiwan to examine their self-reported traumatic experiences in relation to the cultural meaning of rape in Chinese society. In analyzing the interview accounts, this study identified several kinds of trauma predominantly experienced among the interviewed rape survivors. This study found that the psychological trauma among individual rape survivors in Taiwan, although similar to rape trauma symptoms documented in Western literature, seems to manifest a relatively distinct cultural construction of rape in Chinese society. Study implications for rape-related educational and treatment programs in Taiwan are suggested in the context of Chinese cultural construction of rape.
