SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2016, para. 72
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Young people may feel inclined to share personal details without taking into account the consequences of their online actions or fail to identify online dangers. For example, children may not appreciate that information or images they share online may be disseminated in ways they do not anticipate; equally, they may not realize that once they share such material they lose control over it. This can be especially problematic when young people produce revealing images or videos of themselves engaging in sexual activity and intentionally share it by any electronic means.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children
