Abstract :Incest is defined as a situation in which an individual is subjected to sexual abuse by family members or close relatives who are prohibited by law from marrying. To safeguard the mental and physical health of society and the family, including children, it is important to have an understanding of sexual abuse and incest, and to subsequently promote awareness at the societal level. In this academic study, the concept of sexual abuse and incest, frequently encountered and concealed within society, is explored with reference to the film \\\"Atlı Karınca.\\\" The study delves into the definition and characteristics of these phenomena, identifies the contributing risk factors, and analyzes the ensuing outcomes. This study is a research based on document analysis, one of the qualitative research designs.
