Thus, understanding the factors associated with their endorsement is crucial. To our knowledge, no systematic review or meta-analysis has specifically focused on both child sexual abuse (CSAM) and rape myths (RM). This study aims to address this gap. Following the PRISMA statement, a systematic search across eight databases yielded 4.019 articles, with full-text extraction of 308 articles and the inclusion of 187 articles in the meta-analyses. For CSAM, 22 articles and 75 effect sizes were analyzed from studies conducted between 1992 and 2024. For RM, 167 articles and 763 effect sizes from studies published between 1980 and 2024 were included. Factors were categorized into four categories: Sociodemographic Factors, Beliefs and Attitudes, Individual Functioning, and Socio-contextual Factors. Results revealed that beliefs and attitudes, especially those rooted in sexual aggression and coercion, acceptance of violence, and gendered dominance, had the largest effect sizes, ranging from\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.299 to\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">r<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009.441.
