What works to prevent violence against children online?https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789240062061http://hdl.handle.net/11212/5664The report, What works to prevent online violence against children, presents ways to address the growing worldwide concern of keeping children safe online, with a specific focus on two forms of online violence: child sexual abuse including grooming and sexual image abuse; and cyber aggression and harassment in the form of cyberbullying, cyberstalking, hacking and identity theft. The report recommends implementing school-based educational programmes that have multiple sessions, promote interaction among youth and engage parents. It highlights the need for improvements in several areas including: the need for more violence prevention programmes that integrate content about online dangers with offline violence prevention, given the overlap of these problems and their common approaches to prevention; less emphasis on stranger danger as strangers are not the sole or even the predominant offenders in online violence against children; more emphasis on acquaintance and peer perpetrators, who are responsible for a majority of offenses; and more attention to healthy relationship skills, since romance and intimacy-seeking are major sources of vulnerability to online violence.enchild abuseonline sexual exploitationonline victimizationinternetpreventionchild sexual abuse materialInternational ResourcesArticle
