A new report reveals that an estimated 20 million children between 12 and 17 years old suffered at least one form of technology-facilitated sexual exploitation and abuse in a single year across 21 countries. This represents nearly one in five children in this age group. The majority of abuse cases occurred on major social media platforms.

Fewer than 1% of these cases were reported to authorities. The report combines survey data with testimonies from children to shed light on this issue. Further details on the report's findings are available, providing insight into the scope of technology-facilitated child sexual abuse.
