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”
