Sexual violence against children and adolescents is a pressing global issue. The consequences of child sexual exploitation and abuse are profound, leading to serious implications for children’s health, societal participation and economic prospects. The digital world has amplified children’s exposure to sexual exploitation
and abuse, exposing children to unprecedented risks.
In the last 12 months:
300 million + children under the age of 18 have been affected by online child
sexual exploitation and abuse
One in eight children globally have been subjected to online solicitation and
have experienced non-consensual taking, sharing and/or exposure to sexual
images and videos.
The volume of child sexual abuse material has increased by 87% since 2019.
Survivors and global child protection organisations call upon Governments and other key actors to prevent and end the sexual exploitation and abuse of children online and create a safer digital future for every child.
Be part of the solution—join us in building a safer, more empowering digital world for children and young people everywhere.
While the digital world offers unparalleled opportunities, it also exposes children to unprecedented dangers, including online sexual exploitation and abuse. Online abuse is a global public health crisis, inflicting profound mental and physical harm to children, disrupting their development, well-being, and future opportunities.
The digital world is failing our children and protecting them requires urgent collective action.
Over 15 expert organisations have joined forces to organise this event and make child online safety a key agenda at the Global Ministerial Conference for Ending Violence Against Children.
