Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 95
- Paragraph text
- Tourism development and information technologies are also enhancing children's vulnerability to sexual abuse, including by making remote areas more accessible to tourists. The increased use of live video streaming of sexual abuse of children is another emerging trend, allowing families with cheap Internet access and computer equipment provided by travelling offenders to make money by streaming video footage of their very young children. There is also a rise in cases of children lured with money or gifts by preying offenders who entice children to share photos of themselves.

Paragraph
SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 14
- Paragraph text
- Children engaged in domestic work, most of them girls, are also highly vulnerable to violence. According to the most recent figures published by the International Labour Organization (ILO), at least 52.6 million people are employed as domestic workers across the world, 15.5 million of whom are children. Most of them work as housekeepers, nannies or caregivers, and many are also migrants who hope to support their families through their remittances. Often isolated, with no formal protection structure, child domestic workers are highly vulnerable to labour exploitation, working long hours without rest, being denied holidays or deprived of wages, and enduring serious manifestations of violence and abuse.
