Abstract: Child sexual abuse, as a very serious social problem, has attracted increasingly high attention from the society and scholars. It brings not only indelible trauma to the abused children and their family, but also terrible impact to the society. Therefore, it is urgent to build the network to prevent child sexual abuse. From the perspective of bioecological system theory, the prevention network should be constructed from different ecological systems based on the three dimensions of children, the interaction between children and significant others, and the environment. It should include child-centered preventive education, parent-centered preventive paths, school-based prevention programs and state-dominated institutional safeguards.

Key words: bioecological system, child sexual abuse, prevention approach
