Resource: Evidence-based actions to end online child sexual exploitation and abuse

The internet is a way for children to access education and knowledge, to maintain social connections and to have a creative outlet. But these opportunities continue to be undermined by a serious risk of harm: data from 13 countries show that up to 20 per cent of 12–17-year-olds had experienced online sexual exploitation and abuse in a period of just one year. Scaled to the general population, this represents millions of children being sexually exploited or abused.

Disrupting Harm research suggests that most online sexual exploitation and abuse happens on social media platforms. Disrupting Harm evidence provides recommendations for government, civil society and parents, with a focus on creating change within child protection systems nationally and globally.

This seminar will showcase good practices and lessons learned on engaging with governments in Argentina and South Africa.
