This paper addresses the issue of compensation of damage to children who have been victims of sexual violence from a civil law perspective. In doing so, special emphasis was placed on the right of the child, as a victim, to receive adequate compensation for the suffered violence. Following the general remarks in the introductory section, the paper outlines the positive legal aspect of sexual offenses against a child, and subsequently explains the main problems that accompany the issue of non-pecuniary damage, from its establishment to the determination of the amount of an adequate amount of compensation. The jurisprudence is rich in examples of disputes concerning compensation of non-pecuniary damage, which is, to a certain extent, set out in this paper. As problems of compensation of damage from the perpetrator of violence may arise in practice, the authors, following contemporary trends in comparative and international law, put forward proposals de lege ferenda, modeled on individual solutions of other countries that have successfully changed their positive law and set up compensation funds for victims of criminal offenses from which compensation is paid to all victims, including children. The modalities and the way in which these funds are financed are presented in detail in the last chapter of this paper, as a solution to the current practice problem, which could be implemented pro futuro, in future laws.
