Samenvatting

Qualitative research about global perspectives on online sexual exploitation of children is scarce, while literature suggests that many children are exposed to this form of crime. With qualitative data from 173 children from ten countries in Asia, Europe and Latin-America, this research highlights the perspectives of children on this phenomenon and confirms that children are exposed to many risks. Children shared concrete ideas to enhance their safety online. These are valuable insights for effective online safety measures that should encourage companies and policymakers to integrate child participation in their design processes structurally.
