Handbook: Sexuality, violence and digital media

Sexuality and sexual violence online are relevant topics for educational professionals, not least because children and young people are often subjected to sexual harassment online. This makes it all the more important to have competent professionals available to answer questions on sexual topics and educate about risks, as well as provide support in cases of sexual violence. This handbook provides support in this area.

Spanning 16 chapters, it examines various aspects of the topic, including sex education, sexting, sexual harassment, the misuse of nude images and the prevention of cyber violence in romantic relationships. Each chapter contains an exercise suitable for working with children and young people aged 10 and over.

The handbook concludes with information on relevant legislation and advice for educators and young people.
