A new report reveals that an estimated 20 million children between 12 and 17 years old suffered some form of technology-facilitated sexual exploitation and abuse in one 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 testimonials from children to shed light on this issue. Further information on the report's findings is available, including details on the scope of the problem and the role of technology in facilitating abuse.
