SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2015, para. 56

Paragraph
Paragraph text
Most children do not report being bothered or upset going online, and most risks are encountered by a minority of children. However, when harm arises, the impact on the child can be devastating, leading to depression and generating fear, eating and sleeping disorders, aggression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and a sense of shame and guilt. That is exacerbated when multiple forms of abuse and exploitation take place simultaneously or are committed against the same victim over time.
