A new study has revealed that nearly 20 million children are subjected to online sexual abuse annually. The findings highlight the growing risks children face as their daily lives become increasingly integrated with digital platforms.
While these online spaces facilitate education, social interaction, and communication, they often prioritize speed and constant connectivity. This environment can inadvertently blur the boundaries between safe activities and experiences that compromise child safety.
Experts note that the design of many digital platforms contributes to these vulnerabilities. The report underscores the urgent need to address the safety challenges inherent in the digital spaces where children spend much of their time.
