UNICEF reported that approximately 2 million children using the internet across 21 countries faced sexual exploitation or production on digital platforms within a single year. ^[1] A UNICEF study conducted between 2020 and 2025 across nine countries including Kenya, Pakistan, Brazil, and Serbia found that more than one in five children aged 12 to 17 experienced at least one form of sexual abuse or exploitation online in the year prior to the study. ^[2][8] UNICEF released a global report titled Through Children's Eyes: How Digital Technologies Enable Child Sexual Abuse based on an evaluation of 21 countries. ^[3] The report estimates that over 15 million children were exposed to unwanted sexual content, 9 million were asked to engage in sexual conversations or share sexual images against their will, and 4 million children had sexual images of themselves shared without their consent. ^{[4][6][11][12]} Children subjected to tech-facilitated exploitation were four times more likely to report suicidal thoughts or behaviours and self-harm, and reported significantly higher levels of anxiety. ^[5][9] More than 40 per cent of cases of tech-facilitated abuse were never shared with anyone, while fewer than 1 per cent were reported to authorities such as the police, social workers, or helplines. ^[7][10]
