SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2016, para. 68
Paragraph
Paragraph text
The vast majority of young people who generate or receive sexts would not tell an adult about it; parents and teachers are considered the last resort for seeking help. While most sexting images are self-generated and distributed on a mobile device, the images move easily from the mobile platform onto social networks, which can result in cyberbullying and online abuse on those platforms.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Representative of the Secretary-General on violence against children
