A new UNICEF report reveals that over one in four internet-using children aged 12 to 17 in Kenya have experienced technology-facilitated sexual exploitation and abuse. The study, which identifies a specific prevalence rate of 26.83 percent for Kenyan youth, highlights a significant local crisis regarding digital safety for minors.
On a broader scale, the UNICEF data indicates that nearly one in five internet-using children across 21 surveyed countries faced similar forms of abuse within a single year. This global trend affects an estimated 20 million children, underscoring the widespread nature of the issue as digital connectivity continues to expand among younger populations.
