  • LSE Study Reveals 1 in 6 Asian and African Children Face Online Sexual Abuse
    May 28, 2026, 6:47 PM EDT. A London School of Economics (LSE) study published in Nature found that one in six internet-using children aged 12-17 in Asia and Africa have experienced online sexual exploitation or abuse. The research surveyed nearly 12,000 youths across 12 countries, identifying over 10 million affected children. Incidents spanned social media, messaging apps, games, and video platforms. Victimisation was notably higher in the Philippines, Uganda, Kenya, and Namibia, while Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia reported fewer cases. Alarmingly, 51% of victims did not disclose their abuse, often confiding in friends rather than authorities, highlighting gaps in supportive systems for youths. The findings underscore urgent needs for improved child-friendly reporting mechanisms and prevention strategies across digital spaces.
