UNICEF survey: 1 in 5 youths report online sexual abuse

A UNICEF survey of ~21,000 young people indicates rising online sexual abuse of minors, with 1 in 5 reporting victimization. The claim is based on self-reported data, which may undercount or overcount due to definitional variance. This signals a growing child-protection challenge that may prompt policy and platform-regulation responses.
