  • LSE Study Reveals One in Six Asian and African Children Face Online Sexual Abuse
    May 29, 2026, 4:59 AM EDT. A London School of Economics (LSE) study finds that one in six internet-using children aged 12-17 in Asia and Africa experience online sexual exploitation or abuse. The research, published in Nature, analyzed data from nearly 12,000 youths across 12 countries. It revealed over 10 million affected children, with high victimisation rates in the Philippines, Uganda, Kenya, and Namibia. More than half of victims do not report these incidents, limiting access to support. Offenses occur through social media, messaging apps, online games, and video platforms, including unwanted sexual images and coercion. The study highlights the need for better, child-friendly reporting and support systems to address widespread online sexual harms among youth.
