Report: ”I wouldn’t count this as normal, traditional sex, but it is a form of sex”
ECPAT’s report “I wouldn’t count this as normal, traditional sex, but it is a form of sex” shows that technical development has changed the way children explore their sexuality and that children and adolescents are having sex in new ways today. Awareness is lacking among adults about how technical development has affected the way young people have sex. Adults need to be able to inform children about the rules that apply both online and offline.
”Everything that is not a yes is a no”
ECPAT’s report “Everything that is not a yes is a no” is about children´s everyday exposure to sexual crimes and their protective strategies. The report is based on ECPAT’s survey “Nude Online” (Nude på nätet 2021) in which almost 13,000 children participated, between the ages of 10-17 years. In the survey children have shared their experiences of being subjected to crime, and their protection strategies.
”Då tog ’hon’ en screen och allt började”
ECPATs senaste rapport som är en studie av sexuell utpressning av barn i ekonomiskt syfte. I rapporten beskrivs hur framför allt pojkar utsätts för en ny typ av sexualbrott där förövarens motiv primärt inte är sexuellt, utan i stället egen ekonomisk vinning. Förövarna manipulerar till sig nakenbilder och -filmer från pojkarna, inte sällan genom att utge sig för att vara en jämnårig flicka. Ofta tillhör de organiserad brottslighet och barnen är deras nya brottsoffer.
Handbook: Children as experts
Experts on their own situation
A central theme for our method is children’s participation. We are convinced that children are experts on their own situation and must therefore play a central role when we design surveys for them. This means that children participate in all parts of our survey process – in planning, design, implementation and analysis.
