Abstract
Available in multiple languages.
Child sexual exploitation and sexual abuse are complex phenomena involving
multiple actors, and requiring a multi-sectoral response. The absence of common language
to describe conduct amounting to sexual exploitation and sexual abuse affects and undermines
global efforts to protect children. The Terminology Guidelines, dubbed the ‘Luxembourg Guidelines’
after their adoption in the small country earlier this year, offer guidance on how to navigate
the complex lexicon of terms commonly used relating to sexual exploitation and sexual abuse of
children. They aim to build consensus on key concepts in order to strengthen data collection and
cooperation across agencies, sectors and countries.
